girlie boots

is there such a thing as proper protective biker boots with a heel? ive searched for ages on the net and can't find any 
ive attached a pic of some dm's for you to get the idea of what im looking for.... im little and need a couple more inches leg length

  nice boots, but not that sort of heel for biking    I'm not very tall, but its the ball of yr foot you need to get on to the tarmac, so a heel doesn't really help.  (only my opinion, ohter may have different view )   I have some ladies 'daytona' ones with a little heel, they're comfortable, are waterproof so far , I've had them 2 years, look ok and are easy to walk about in when yr off the the bike ,  Good luck finding what you want

thanks for the reply snoopy
im able to touch the floor with my toes/ balls of my feet... just... but i thought that if i had heels it would add a bit more contact to tarmac?? as you've prob guessed im new to biking and appreciate your views and advice 
i have a cbr 125 at the moment(which is quite small) and im hoping to do my test in the spring.... im getting a little anxious that i even with lowering kits i wont be able to touch the floor properly on something bigger...

I took my test on a gs 500
and now have a sfv650 ..can't get my both feet right down but with the brake covered and stationary I can put my left foot down  flat comfortably, I had the suspension lowered a litle bit and that made a differance ....
I think its just a matter of getting used to the balance of the bike yr riding and the weight ... feeling comfortable .. 
I am 5' 2'' just !! lol   

Keep at it!! tis GREAT !!!!!

Well everybody will take the piss now cos I'm a short arse , but I have seen a really little old fella on a blade and he had blocked up boots ie sort of like glam rock platforms he said he just got a cobbler to put some inch heels and half inch soles on his boots and it did the job
