hi I`m 5-9 / 31 inseam - what I did was buy boots with tall heal & soul (1.5 in heel) - also I don`t use the rear brake for slow stops only the front.-steering straight I have the timing down to stop & both feet down at same time , same with take off -both feet up at same time . I find when using the rear brake with the pressure on pedal & weight shift bike wanted the fall over. the other thing is do not turn your shoulders to look side ways when stopped . turn your head only , when you turn shoulders it shifts your body lean angle and can put you off balance,
