I haven't had that problem with the rear panniers on the double cross. I use to use some Madden (AKA Adventure Cycling) panniers, and recently upgraded to Ortlieb's. No "heel strike" with either panniers. This might be different for people with big feet/large shoe size. It you are buying from a shop, maybe they could mount a rack, and put a set of panniers on to see if it will be an issue.
