Does anyone else ever get sore heels from the hammock? I have tried to dial in the DN over the past few nights in my indoor rig and I noticed my heels hurt from the material pressing on them .
Does anyone else have this issue?

I have a couple of times. I started putting a Thermarest sit pad in my TQ footbox ...lightly inflated. It helps and you can separate your heels a bit.

Yeah! That's the other thing, my feetsies get squished together. I haven't played with any kind of pad yet, so I guess that's the next step.

Yep. Slightly squishy foot pad is great or a pillow under your knees helps, too. I've even used a pair of thick socks between my ankles to help keep my feet separated. I do that in a pinch, but not always.

I also find that a pillow (i.e. a stuff sack with a down vest in it) under the knees helps. You might try to adjust (increase) your sag or lengthen the material on that side/end of the hammock (by redoing the whipping). Make sure you're not laying with your feet elevated too far above your heart, as that can affect circulation.

I have adopted the figure 4 sleeping position for this issue. Seems to do the trick so far.

Great hammock.
i had that happen two nights in a row a while back and never since. it felt like my left heel was on fire when i woke. I switched to the figure-4 position with left heel on top. Also I noticed in those occurrences that i woke up in the exact position i fell asleep in, not sure if that had anything to do with it.
When i sleep inside ive been putting a pillow behind my knees and its made a huge difference in foot comfort
...in it for pics.
