While enough people have said this that I believe you on a factual basis, at 6' and a size 11 shoe I have still never actually noticed this myself, compared to the Diamond footwells which on the narrowest seats would not admit both of my feet at the same time. What I would say is that unless you are extremely particular about your footwells, I don't think the average pax would have anything negative to say about the regular Polaris footwells.
1A has a slanty view straight into the galley, and while I am not particularly sensitive, I would still trade whatever bulkhead benefits for the comparative dark and quiet of 3A.
