Doesn't matter as long as you can operate the rudder to full travel and apply toe brakes as well, if fittted. Some instructors may say 'heels on floor to prevent inadvertent brake application', but that should only be for the first trip or so until you learn how to use the brakes. They tend to more important when taking off and landing than during flight, so you should be ready to use them at those times.
