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 an issue?
3) What are some good shoes (either brand/model or general type) to use with clips (but not slotted cleats)?

Opinions welcome. Thanks.
Opinion: Don't go crazy when adjusting the toe straps. They should fit around your foot when inserted, but with minimal leftover loopiness. I don't recommend you pull them tight without a strong need for added foot stability, and then not for very long.
