Both of you are saying half truth. Nothing is forbidden or recommended. If there is any diktat about feet position on take off it is only from some airline. I have read a discussion on this at an airbus TRTO where both techniques were used and taught. SO feet up is as much valid as feet down. I have used feet up while flying B747 classic where the rudders were not connected with the nose wheel and with it's size, inertia and wet run way it can be a handful. I did execute a low speed reject in B747 and with my feet up I didn't have to give it a second thought. But there is a technique while using rudder on take off if you keep the feet up. In the A320 with rudder connection feet in any position is not a problem. I didn't see in the FCTM anything about feet I position. Perhaps you can give the page No. But what it does say is "To select both reversers irrespective of which engine has failed" obviously more for the effect akin to differential braking than stopping. And to use steering hand wheels when taxi is used and not before because nose wheel will skid and aggravate the problem. There has been a thread on this before and no point wasting time starting again promoting personal preferences. .
