I just step back and bring the whole body. The front foot designates where my next attack will be launched from so I let that remain. I draw back my rear foot, carrying my body out of range and then step with the right for a counter, as the left is already set.

I'm tall at 71, but not lanky, pretty much the same build as rjj and G man at Middleweight, tall but not freakishly and wider shoulders than the rest of me LoL
