Tail wheel tips...Almost ground looped!!

Did another two hours today....very inconsistent and still struggling to master the landing and still too light on the rudder ...must be more authoritative! Also found my achilles heal or should I say foot!! They are too big and try as I might, they keep riding up the pedals onto the brakes. I think that this was the main reason why almost ground looped today.We started drifting off to the right of the runway and in goes the left boot to bring us back...before I know it we are 90 degrees to the runway heading and the poor chap behind had to go around [sorry by the way, I know not what I do].

Anyway we get right back in the saddle, line up and off we go again.

Am determined to keep going with this and I will master it, jsu think I need smaller feet! Do transair do these?
