Go with a bigger board
I'm 5'5" with much smaller feet Wink and ride boards sized 134 to 137.

I am 5'7" tall, and I wear a size 10. I weigh slightly more than you do...I ride a 136. The difference is how much you are "in" or "on" the water. You can ride either one. However, with the smaller one you will be "in" the water more. The bigger size will keep you "on top" of the water more. I find that mine is a perfect balance. My husband and I used to share our board (I recently got new bindings and he is getting a new board) but he was "in" the water more because he is a bit heavier than I am. I hope that makes sense and helps you decide!
