When stopped, wearing typical riding shoes, you should be able to straddle the bike while keeping both heels (feet) flat on the floor. If you cannot do this, basically, the bike is too big for you. A little too small can be dealt with. A little too large is, flat-out, too large.
There you have it.
The bike is too big for you.
