My wife had troubles flat-footing her bike, and part of the decision in buying these boots was the high solid heel – it just gives her more confidence and allows to stand firmly on the ground. But again, she’s spent her whole life wearing shoes with serious heels, so me and you, lacking the same experience, are certainly not the best judges here For what it’s worth, she loves these shoes and wears them every time she’s on the bike.
Regarding the protection – you’re right, they only have some padding in the impact areas, but as I’ve said above – they’re solid enough and saved her a couple of times already.
