I've landed with my feet 'up' on the pedals for 36 years. Shorts 3-30 will make you consider that technique. It's been no problem, heels for the rudders with foot flexed backwards. To transfer to braking is as easy as relaxing the front muscles at the front of your calves. It's much easier, and faster, than sliding your foot up the rudder pedals, especially in strong or gusty crosswinds.
