No , the leg room is the same as the row in front and behind. What does happen there is that the middle four seats in the economy layout becomes a block of three to deal with the taper. IE row 60 is 2-4-2 layout and 61 onwards is 2-3-2.
There are better seats but they are rows 40 (the front row of economy) and there is a bulk head which some people find worse than stretching out under the seat in front AND row 50, which is the emergency exit row - this is the only true extra leg room seat.
If you pay for economy delight you get an extra 3 inches over regular economy but other than that almost all of the other rows ( except 40 and 50 ) are identical.
