Need help with shoes for a short female
I got my gf to take the msf course in August . So i need to get her a pair of shoes. What shoes do you recommend for a short girl. Basically which shoe adds the most height with full protection. She is 5'2 with small feet.

I keep hearing wonderful things about Daytona Boots, but they are a bit on the pricier end of the spectrum.

Then we have the Joe Rocket Heartbreaker boots that have a 2.5" hidden wedge in them. They're the least expensive option at about $110. The down side to these is there is absolutely zero side roll ankle protection. Then you have the Daytona Ladystars - the ultimate short person boot. With those you get the 2.5" height boost of the Heartbreakers with the safety features of the Sirens. They'll also set you back about $450. It really comes down to how much height she needs to gain and how much you can afford to spend.

Looks like the lady star hit the mark. Now to sell some blood. They are pricey but 2.5 is a great height boost.

I'm 5'2"/5'3"ish, I adore my Lady Pilots from Daytona. My other touring choice would be the TCX Auras for a lower budget. If the height is your main concern and your budget is even lower there are the Heart Breaker boots too, but I have heard bad things about the Joe Rocket brand name from friends. |

 The good news is I know folks who ride a lot and have had the same pair for 8 years. So, when you break it down like that, they're very reasonably priced.
