foot braces

Has anyone used the foot braces offered by Walden Sports (kayaks)? I have their plastic boat,Passage, and it uses a adjustable system of straps that can be adjusted on the fly. They are great!! No stopping and reaching in to slide foot pegs. Just adjust straps next to the seat while sitting. It is great for the minor adjustments for fatigue while away from shore. It is attached to the seat and I have not figured out how to install into my boat except to install cheek plates. They will sell the foot brace seperately but will not sell the seat with or without it. There seat is very comfortable for plastic. How about some ideas?

Also looking at seairsports air seat as an option as my back isn't what it used to be and these look like they would be quite comfee. Question is how to apply both to the boat.(North Star).
Thanks for ideas
Dave
