I almost always wear booties to protect my feet from the inside of the fiberglass hull. This means that my heels don't actually rub on the hull when I paddle. However, I have used think high-density foam panels that I've glued to the bottom of the hull where my heels rest. This was in a w/w boat with very little room for my feet (I had to point them like a ballerina on her tippy-toes).

Dave Kruger probably has some sort of chemical wizardry to help, too.

Paddlers -
Tell me again what your recommendation is to prevent heal rum inside your
kayak from the paddlers heals on the hull.
I see that my kayaks have heal rub worn areas where my heals rest on the
inside of the hull.
When to Tap Plastics who recommended "Goop Coat-IT". Had second thoughts and
thought i better check with the kayak experts with more experience than i
have, YOU - PaddleWise emphasis on the wise part based on expeience both good
and ... well not so good.
Look forward to your response, feedback, suggestions and recommendations.....
