Add insoles to your boots, I added the gel heel and a full insole to my boots to give me .5 inches. Inclines are difficult on your toes, downhill is harder than up in my opinion. Oh, I am 5' with 27" inseam.
If you think the bike is light, another skill to work on is moving the bike while it is not running. Like, walking or backwards (backing up) on and off the bike.
