The stem length has nothing to do with toe overlap.
Road frames are designed to run stems that are 80-120 mm to provide for proper riding position and going longer or shorter affects the handling and weight distribution, upright riding bicycles can use shorter stems since the weight bias is to the rear.
Toe overlap is caused by large feet, and / or steeper headtubes and lower trail forks...
