Well, fast forward to recently, and I found out a bike of mine I bought 2 years ago and which I use often actually has toe overlap Only problem is, I found out the hard way, while wearing my new white pair of S-Works 7 shoes If it’s any consolation, the scratch is not in a super visible area...

Did that ever happen to any of you?

Almost every bike I've ever owned had toe overlap and it's only apparent if not moving and only a problem, for me, if there is something on the shoe or wheel to snag. I installed some fenders on one bike and the struts extended a bit too far and I bumped into them a couple times and, therefore, trimmed them. I can still hit the fender with my foot, but it's no longer a problem.
