But shoe sole thickness doesn't affect the PBH dimension?

FWIW I typically ride a city type bike and wear different types of shoes, I don't ride this bike much over 10 miles in a single sitting, so a bit of maladjustment is not an issue. I do notice that different shoes make for different riding. I typically set it near the middle of the range and carry on.

I suspect that the PBH is of more use to someone setting up a bike for competition type riding.
