i wont ride this bike with toe overlap. period.
Most modern cyclocross bikes have a short wheelbase (can't imagine why that is) and you will be very hard pressed to find a bike that doesn't have toe overlap these days.
In practice you will find it very difficult to strike a toe when riding since when making turns you SHOULD have your outside foot on the low end and in normal riding it is impossible to turn the front wheel far enough to strike your toes. The only place where you would normally hit a toe on a bike with overlap is when you're riding very slowly and generally standing up to balance that slowly and having to turn the wheel a very long way in order to balance the bike without significant forward motion.
