I have recently got a new bike and immediately noticed the toe overlap (XL Crust norEaster with 29x2.1+Fenders) – while I am already learning how to work with it (carry momentum in wiggly parts so I can turn hard while feet are in the 6 and 12 o'clock position) i double checked that a different bike would make no difference. The Crust Romanceur is 650B so you'd think that would solve it but the reach is 20mm shorter and negates wheel size differences. Like you said Ian it can be unavoidable for some. A poster above mentioned clown shoes, and some of my US13 sneakers might qualify as clown shoes.
