what boots do you currently use? one thing i had to do cause i'm so short is take the shin armor out of my a* suit. also, i struggled a little with my sidi b2's getting them over the suit, but my vertigo's have adjustable calves which really helps. let me know if you need any help with women's gear (sizing and opinions). i used to run a cycle gear and have tried on everything under the sun (and i know how hard it is to find proper gear for women)
