: I've attached a pic of the Wenonah canoe foot brace for reference.
: Am I crazy or is this a good idea that needs to be tried??

Bob,
Your seating position is different in a kayak from a canoe. As a result, your feet angle horizontally as well as vertically. Take a look at the Schade brothers' footbrace design.
