They are too narrow for some of the shoes I wear,and mine are size 10.I don't know how the guys with size 12 make out.

I ALWAYS keep my feet on the o uter corner weldments (duck feet) until its time to apply brakes. I always try to keep my heals on the floor as well. Now most of my history with RV's is with A models but my TW instructor will rip me a new one if I ever hit the brakes while doing anything but rolling straight forward above low taxi speeds. Keep at it...

Perhaps your airplane is non standard.
