That's easily avoided by putting your carry-on bag in front of your legs. If you have a rollerboard, you can even use it as a foot rest.
If I am not upgraded, I ALWAYS, ALWAYS get an exit row seat (if possible) for the legroom. To me, the lack of legroom (and I'm 5' 11": not super-tall) of a regular coach seat is the single most uncomfortable part of flying.
