6'3" with size 13 feet. Never a problem though I don't fly in bunny boots in the winter (can't imagine trying to feel the rudder inputs with bunny boots myself ) but rather very warm moosehide mukluks.
The control wheel in my lap is the only uncomfortable point. Can hardly keep a lapboard on my lap without the control wheel knocking it off. I could turn my control wheels upside down like a lot of folks do but I've never bothered. Plenty of spare headroom.
