Shift doesn't make them small enough for most girls. I wear a 6-6.5 in women's shoes and they are huge on me.

But I really want to give these ankle protectors from Dainese a try:


I will def have to try some of these on, Thanks so much for all the recommendations. Everyone on Stuntride is so much nicer than Stuntlife, plus there's actually women on here! "no offense guys, I really appreciate all your info too".

I wish I could fit into a pair of those, I even begged the company to make me a custom pair! Hearing all the stories my B/f and others have told me has terrified me of how I could get tangled up with laces, have my shoes fly off, break things, loose a finger ect ect...(can we say gullible) Haha.

I def have a healthy respect for my bike.

Gotcha, Hey at least you have some cool chics up there. There are NO girls here Just my friend and I slowly learning with the boys. Although, if she had a bike consistently she'd have it.

I'm actually surprised they haven't started making them in women's sizes yet. Or even smaller mens or youth sizes would be fine, doesn't matter as long as they fit! Its not like women are are getting out of this sport, more are getting into it. I mean they sponsor several female riders and a couple of them are able to fit into their shoes No fair! Guys get those and we get offered things like those Icon bombshell hooker boots! I mean really, who wears those to ride (thats driving).

I was just in the Costa Mesa Dainese store -complete heaven, their gear is SO sick, I am trying to get a Dainese back protector + elbow pads to replace my Stella Bionic which is falling apart

Yeah those are the ones i am trying to get but nobody has them small enough all med and large. I am waiting right now for one of the local stores to get them in so i can try a pair on. Until then i picked up a pair of Thor's but they move all around; so annoying! My hubby has a spine protector by Dainese and he loves it! I have worn it a few times but the top of the spine part hits the back of my helmet :/. I need to get a new vest too my six six one is torn on the arm and it rips more every time i wear it. Let me know if ya find something good!
