My solution Posted by: hodtay on Sep-26-12 6:05 PM (EST)
I worked for a while and endured a couple of failed purchases before I solved a problem similar to yours. I moved the seat back two inches in a Zephyr 160. I also wear a compact paddling shoe. It is amazing how much difference two extra inches of leg room makes. The Zephyr's performance wasn't hindered by relocating the seat. Hope this helps.
