I had the same situation with my wife comfortably placing her feet on the floorboards (at the up-most height). My solution was to find a creative fabricator to work with to design my Spyder Slyders (SyderSpecialties. com). Unfortunately, my fabricator was up and coming in his career area and is now employed by Lockheed Martin. Good Luck)
They do rotate out of the way so as to make it easier to get on and off the bike...
But they WILL bend downward, if you put too much weight on them.
They're designed to hold a pair of arms; not an entire body!
it just seems like the women would naturally want to put alot of weight on them.
The metal bracket that they attach to, is pretty long, and the attachment points for the arms are far enough outboard, that there's a lot of leverage involved...
I don't know what it would take, to make it any stronger than it is right now... Hardened Spring Steel?
It's not as if they fold up like a bad hand of cards...

I'm gonna go ahead and order them and I am going to charge her 5 bucks every time I have to bend them back up. I should have all the money back pretty quick that I spent on them and enough left over to buy more bling,,,,lol
I feel your frustration.
