Has anyone every used them? Are they meant to feel like an airbag is shoved in the front of your boat or am I using it wrong?

I find it can take a bit of practice to get it to work properly.

I found pulling them out & replacing them with a bit of foam worked best for me, but then again i needed the extra leg room.

Yeah they feel like an airbag on my feet too. To be honest i'm not a big fan of the happy feet, only use it cos it came with my boat. I wouldn't recommend buying them seperately as they are very expensive for what they are.

I use them and I think they're grand. If it feels like an airbag then you might be setting it up wrong!

When i use them they were fairly solid & pretty comfy... i just needed the extra leg room.

Happy feet are awesome, coincidentally i have a spare set if anyone wants to buy em ;)

Happy feet gave my foot a blister. Nuala blames the fact I was wearing converse in my boat. I blame Jackson.
