IF you call customer service and explain your situation
I'm sure that they will move you to an aisle seat if you asked politely.

I've even seen them "bump" someone (medallion) who had confirmed aisle
seating first-up in FIRST CLASS cabin for someone (non-medallion)
with same awkward boot situation who was originally assigned a
Window seat in the middle of FC cabin...
