Can the clutch pedal be lowered closer to the floor?

When I push my clutch in I end up using more of my toes then the ball of the foot.

I can use my ball of my foot, but that means my heal is not resting on the floor, and my leg gets tired after awhile.

I was wondering if there was a way to lower the pedal (vertically) closer to the floor?

If not I need to think of other options.

Not sure if aftermarket pedal covers are really going to help.

My need to fab up an elevation floor plate to sit under the carpet.

Any advice?

I am guessing your feet are not size 12+ like mine.

If it's a huge problem for you and there's no other solution you can maybe put a spacer on the clutch travel rod that forces the clutch to stay down a bit
