Petite too short for me at 5'5-1/2"

I am 5'5.5" and I ordered the petite with a dual core insulated pad. The petite is supposed to be appropriate for heights up to 5'8". When it arrived, I jumped and and found that my feet were straining against the bottom of the bag. I was a bit worried when I blew up the pad and it wasn't more than 5'4", so I'm hanging off of both ends of that, too. Love the bag. High quality, great materials and design. Just too short. I'm reordering the regular size bag. But beware if you aren't a "true" petite.
