Even with hindsight being what it is, I am glad my build happened the way it did. Because I was on the fence, I think if I had gone with the standard height, I would have questioned my decision. I am glad I was able to feel both and solidify the decision for the final build.

After wearing them for a few days I sent them back to have a heel lift added. With the -1/4 heel it felt like I was tipping back in the boots. Since I got them back with the standard height it feels much more natural.

Like others I perused this thread and others for many hours to pin down the order I wanted to make. I finally made my order in November. Here is my build:
