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. Thomas F.
