Hey Keith...The MKS LL toe clips are pretty darn big. I'm only an 11 with normal width but I was swimming in them. With shoes...tie shoes or single velcro strap up top work best. The lower velcro strap on my Specialized often get caught up when trying to enter the clip/strap. Of course I solved this by returning to SPD on the 3 "roadbikes". Still have clips on the Super Course, beartraps on the cruisers, and MKS touring on the 3-speed.

You might also consider Powerstraps...I run these along with beartraps on my old Iron Horse.

1) I wear 12s and have better than a 4E width. Am I going to be able to find deep enough clips such that I can get into a reasonable position on the pedals?
2) I'm using MKS Touring pedals on my touring bike now and in sneakers I overhang the pedal on the outside bad. Does that pose and issue?
3) What are some good shoes (either brand/model or general type) to use with clips (but not slotted cleats)?

Opinions welcome. Thanks.
