What's the problem -
the fit, my foot positioning, or something else?

What are you wearing on your feet? If you're barefoot, you may
want to get some closed-cell foam on the bottom of the kayak.
An old sleeping pad can be cut to size.

If your footwear is the problem, get something else. Something
with a decent heel cup and a bit of paddling should be fine.

I find almost any paddling footwear works fine. Reef boots (aka
dive booties or neoprene boots), paddling shoes (like a light running
shoe with mesh sides) or closed sandles with a heel cup work for me.
