[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 132295, member: 302"] Obviously suggested in jest, but there is a similar possible solution from Daytona Boots, it depends how much money you want to throw at it, and if you like your Vincent just the way you have it set up now and are reluctant to change anything. The Daytona M-Star GTX is in essence a Road Star, my favourite boot, but with an almost indecernable raised heel and sole, but they will cost you £350.00 approx +or- a bit. I have recently purchased a pair to overcome the short of stature problem, and with the limited opportunity I have had for riding this year I cannot really say exactly how successful my experiment has been, I definitely feel safer when stationary with my feet down, the only unforeseen snag I have encountered is the increased thickness of the sole means that you have to be able to flex your ankle more than previously to either get above or below the gear change lever to change gear. I only purchased my boots late on this year, since then Covid and the weather means the bikes have not been out much. [/QUOTE]
