    Agreed. Totally found this to be the case for me.

    Had the same problem. Tried everything. Found some success with the "stuff-sack of clothes under the knees" route for a while.

    Bought a bridge hammock--actually 2 of them heheh. No heel pressure.

    I think some degree of heel pressure might be inherent in the gathered end hammock.

    This.

    To my mind, it all comes down to how it's gathered, length, and width.
