Ergonomically designed, the two part Toe Pilot rudder control foot brace consists of a fixed lower half of pedal to provide solid bracing at all times, and a movable toe piece which allows rudder operation.
These SmartTrack Performance foot braces feature super tough aluminum rails for increased rigidity and durability paired with Toe Pilot rudder controls so that instead of sliding your feet forward and back as with standard pedals, your feet stay braced at all times. Upper pedals do the steering so your stability and balance are never compromised. Lets you maintain control while directing energy from your torso directly to your stroke. Paddling more efficiently means you can paddle longer.

Material
I purchased these to replace the same SmarTrack pedals that I had worn out over a 10 year period, paddling in a shallow lake. Because the lake was shallow, there is a lot of silt/sand in the water, and over the years this acted like a grinding compound to destroy the places where the cables wrapped around.
This was about 1500 hours of use under adverse conditions, and I am old enough that the new pedals will no doubt last longer than I will.
Process of the ordering here was very easy and I received it quickly. However there were absolutely no instructions of any sort. So it was a bit more challenging to install as there was no template or any other way to make it easier than simply measuring and drilling.
These are top notch!!
SmartTrack's rudder controls are hands down the best on the market. I've had them installed on one kayak for 2 years now. And recently moved the rudder system to a new Kayak. I purchased another set for a different kayak recently and integrating the foot controls with the existing rudder was a simple 1 hour process. The durability of SmartTrack's hardware is outstanding. And the design of the toe controls is vastly more user friendly and intuitive than other options.
