Back when I rode with toe clips and straps, leaving them on the underside of the pedals would always have them scraping along the ground until I flipped the pedal over. And, these were medium-size clips and size 9/43 shoes on a standard road bike with a normal height bottom bracket and 170 mm crank arms so nothing particularly oversize anywhere.
