In fact it works great. What I left out is that I own a pair of ginormous work boots with big blocky heels, similar to these, but I think the soles on mine are even thicker:
I've added gel insoles to them that add another 1/4" to my height. Wearing these makes an R6 feel like my 250 does when I'm wearing my normal riding boots. When I'm in these boots, I actually have close to average leg length.
So why don't I just wear these and why the thread?
- The aggressively lugged soles make it tough to move my feet around while riding.
- The high-profile steel box toes (higher profile than motorcycle boots) make shifting interesting (though it is possible).
- I was hoping to start a discussion that other short folks might find useful.
