Hi,

Most kayaks have a track for standard foot braces.  If you need preplacement pedals, then Google the maker of your kayak and get a list of their dealers that you can order the replacements for.  Note that the tracks the braces fit into are different from one make of kayak to another - so you can't just get any set of pedals, unless you are prepared to replace the track that is fixed to the inside of the hull too.

If the foot pedals you're after are your rudder pedals - then it will depend on the rudder system that's installed in your boat, which can often vary not only by boat maker but by individual boat.  

If you need replacement pedals for your existing system, try contacting a dedicated paddling shop (not a big box store).  They'll know what you're talking about, and can order the parts you need.  Find a dealer near you:

If you want to install a rudder system to a boat that has none, then you can get the pedals with the rudder.  Complete systems are available from boat makers, and accessory manufacturers.
