I have to agree, that foot's position is almost impossible.
It's pretty much like standing and having your left foot facing directly towards your right foot. Possible, but not particularly natural. I would have the foot sideways, to it's pointing straight ahead and the heel is invisible, as it would be facing back.
(just a quick crit about the shading; More contrast and more shading in general. Try to have a simple (and single) light source, probably from the upper left or upper right. I usually do the upper right. Then add highlights to all the areas near-ish to the source, and then shade those highlights, slowly adding shades that are closer to the basic color.)
