the heel on pedal thing is only an estimation, does not take into account, things like age, suppleness and most important how hight the heels on your shoe are!
Most hipsters have their saddle too high, because it looks cool, which is a perfectly valid reason, the bobbing up and down and your arse being dragged from one side to the other look good married with sideways snaking when attempting to stop.
lowering your saddle will allow you to pedal faster and it will save your knees, tendons and muscles too...often only has to be 10mm.
