Depending on the pedal design, wood blocks made from plywood might be
suitable. Be sure they are fastened securely and absolutely, positively
cannot come loose.


I saw some years ago in Spain a guy from Lasham, GB, who flew a Discus
with such wood blocks tied to his shoes (and a rope to get the wheel up)


A fellow I knew had a short leg, and had a shoemaker glue a thick cork
sole to one shoe. A pair of slip ons with thick cork soles might work
nicely.
