I'm 5'11" and size 12/13 feet. I didn't like the Anas Acuta _only_ because it was a snug fit - for my feet. The deck is quite low forward and there's not much room for feet. I couldn't get the footpegs right (in honesty, there is probably potential if I could have readjusted them fully - they were clogged with sand and not moving much). It isn't just the deck height - the kayak is relatively narrow there as well, so the feet are squeezed with the toes to the deck and heels touching. I felt that moving the footpegs any further forward would have me standing on my toes on the pegs rather than having then at a comfortable angle - unfortunately, I didn't get to try this. My WW kayak is like that and it bugs me, so I wasn't optimistic. I decided at the time I preferred the slightly bigger Pintail (lovely kayak, that one). My recommendation - try it and see how you fit. If your legs are shorter than mine (32 inseam) you might be comfortable. As well, you might not object to a more toe-forward foot position. I know there are bigger guys (and gals) than me that love the Anas Acuta, though they probably have size 10-11 feet! Personal preference is more important than physical dimensions.
