Sorry, not trying to be rude, just honestly curious about the question.
You know, I had just been thinking that we never did answer your question. Sorry

I think it feels strange because you aren't used to it. If you ever go to clipless pedals, that will also feel strange. If you do go to clipless pedals, they are set up so that the ball of your foot is the part that is over the pedal, so that is the most efficient place for your foot to be.
Not to say that the postition you are used to was bad (at least not for you), but I would imagine that there would be more stress involved.
Others will chime in if I am wrong.
Don't forget though, riding on sidewalks is not as safe for you, no matter what your foot position.
