Some of us ride toes down as how we are built and do best. I'm toes down out of the saddle also where seat height has nothing to do with it. (See Jacques Anquetil.)

My shoes have to pass a simple test. Are my feet comfortable standing on my toes? I put the shoes on in the store and stand in front of the counter, holding on, doing my best to go ballet "en pointe' on my tippy toes. Shoes that don't pass this test go back on the shelf.
