I don't know.  Are you sure you used closed-cell foam because I've
had a lot of luck with it.  I just stick a piece under the bar in
my Sea Lion.  When using the foam, I'm either paddling barefoot, using 
aquasocks or booties, none of which has a hard heel.  I have
used thick rubber sole tennis shoes with good results as they have
provided good support for my heels when paddling.

Your mileage may vary :-)
