RE: question

Well how tall are you? I never suggest lowering a bike, b/c it totally changes the bikes' performance. Can you try boots with a little bit of a heel or something? If your not totally flat footed, that is ok...you'll learn how to balance the bike with time.

RE: question

Most will agree with pits on this... lower will change the bike a lot. Once you get more comfortable with the bike... stopping and leaning to one side with one foot works fine.
