RE: [Paddlewise] Heel Pads - me too

In my Greenlander Pro, I use a small strip of minicell (6"x10x1/2" or
so) under my heels (I like to paddle barefoot).  I don't fasten it down
and when I'm done paddling, I throw it into the day hatch.  In the
Greenlander there are no foot pedals; I have a large block of minicell
against my front bulkhead, which I put the flats of my feet against.
The geometry of my legs and everything keeps my heels pretty snugly on
top of the heel pad, and in a great variety of paddling conditions, I
have not noticed any problems.
