Have you tried mountain bike platforms? I wear size 48.
- Pedals with no concave - no huge issues just not as comfortable, my feet like the pedals with a concave shape better
Five Ten shoes use a special sticky rubber that grabs to metal pins like they're clipless (except you can lift your foot off the pedal easily). Dmr Vaults have the pins, are big enough for my feet, slight concave shape is very comfortable.
Obviously a certain level of medical problems will mean one cannot bike period at some point so I don't know if this would help. But this is the most comfortable I've found for my knees and legs.
For every problem there is a solution. I also use good insoles for extra support, stability, and cushioning.
