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.

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.
