What spur & pad combo do you shorter guys prefer

I am looking to outfit my employee with Spurs. He is shorter with short calf muscles. My Geckos seemed like they did not fit well & raised huge blisters. I was wondering what you shorter guys like.
 
I'm 5'9", 160+/- with gear. I wear Stein X2 spurs with those C cup pads. Pretty comfy but I'm not a fan of the spike profile. Don't tend to stay sharp very long and come dull as a butter knife. You can correct that yourself though. Other than that they're very comfy. I don't spend a lot of time in spikes as most of my work now is pruning , removals tend to be in a bucket nowadays for other companies
 
I'm about 5'10'' and 150-155lbs without gear. Using Buc alloys with Buckingham velcro wrap pads. Way comfy for me. Of course you'll get a lot of opinions on spur selection.
 
Antec axis, perhaps? Haven't tried them myself... @oceans notes that they sit lower than some others.
Yup. Antec Axess Climbers are doing me right. They might only be short for someone my height, though. Whatever the case, I find they're comfy for even extended use.
