I'm 5'5" tall with a 28 1/2 inseam and I (usually) wear a pair of Icon Tarmac 2 CE Boots when I ride my R3. I added some very thick work boot insoles to give me some extra height and I wear very thin socks so they're not too tight. I have the preload set at 5 on the rear shock so the suspension does not have much sag to it.

How tall are you?
For a shoe option try these: http://www.skechers.com/style/7111/alley-cats/bol
They will give you no ankle protection but you can shift with ease on the R3 while wearing them and you'll defiantly gain some much needed height. Also, the soles are very slip resistant.
I have a pair of these in black and I really like them. I occasionally ride the R3 wearing them.
When wearing shoes instead of boots, watch those laces to be safe!!

I have a black pair and they offer better protection than some of the "pure" motorcycle boots I tried. Also, they cost a LOT less $$$$.
If you can shift and brake on the R3 wearing these you can't go wrong buying a pair.
My 1300 has a heel-toe shifter so the "clunkyness" does not bother me.
