I'm 5'8 and wear a 35+1 pad. I can move the knee lock and it's more of a 34+2 now. I couldn't imagine wearing a 32 nevermind a 31... and I thought senior pads start at 33's? I know a couple goalies who are 5'6-ish and they wear 33's.
I suppose it depends on your play and your ATK, but in general terms I see a major problem with that. If cost is a concern, there's plenty of amazing deals online - new or used. I haven't bought goalie equipment in Calgary in years.
There's some old discussion of a similar topic here.
