Just got a Corbin seat and needed some more heigth (the Corbin is wider in the front part of the seat and I could only touch the ground on my toes.) Found these boots (http://www.leatherup.com/product.asp?pf_id=1445%2DSteel%2DToe%2DEngineer) at leatherup.com (http://www.leatherup.com) and the first impressions, they look pretty good. They've got some of the thickest leather I've seen on a pair of boots in quite a while. They also have about a 1 inch sole and 2 inch heel (you could probably get a goldfish in there), but I'm back to flat footing on the bike. I'll keep everyone posted on how they break in and long term impressions. Oh yeah, they only cost $75.00.

I am 5'8" and a 32" inseam and my Corbin has me on tippy toes at stop lights too. I am interested to see how these work for you.

Sue,
Harley has a ladies boot made by Wolverine called the "Cruise Control"

1" sole and 2" heel, sole has great flex and traction, toe is shaped to fit under
shifter, lace up style will keep ankle more stable and stay on in a get off.
It's not a "real" riding boot but Tina loves hers.
