Is your bike fit OK? I think you should have the balls of your foot on the platforms, so your toes would be less likely to hit the tire.

I do have one pair of All Terrain running shoes, that are really more like the old "wafflestomper" hiking boots. Sometimes they hit either the front or rear tire. So you might want to try different shoes, if your foot placement is OK.
