Trek is a good brand, but all bikes are different. I cannot ride Trek bikes, my heal strikes the chainstay, on all of them.
If the store will let you, try to get more than just a quick ride around the parkinglot. But, don't be discouraged if you feel a little achy after longer test rides - if you haven't ridden you may find some awkward spots on your body, but nothing too strong, that's what tells you it isn't the bike for you.
