The demo version that has been around for the last 18mo. is not the version being shipped, they're about 1/2 way finished with making one that's exactly like the one being shipped. I'm not sure how that will affect footroom but I suspect your size 10 will fit with no problems. As I understand it the present version has the same hull shape as the version I paddled but the sheer panel is lower at the cockpit going aft. Who knows if there are any fitting consequences with bulkheads or parts but CLC is familiar with shipping models based on one or zero prototypes so I don't think there will be big surprises there. "make it fit" construction allows for making things fit.
The one thing I find odd is leaving in a ring bulkhead in the bow and stern that is a part of the construction of the hull. I don't know about the position of the stern one but the foreward one is 40" back from the bow. I bet a person could make it temporary but I don't see the reason for making it permanent. The one I paddled has one and I believe the existing production versions have it permananent. Imagine attempting to remove water behind it or actually using the space for putting in a camp pad or small dry bag,,it won't go to the ends,,or if it's small it goes through the ring and gets caught behind it.
