If anyone needs them, MKS makes an Extra large (LL) toeclip that can accommodate larger shoes. I used to wear a 9.5 size dress shoe for a long time, but over the last 5 years realized that was too small. My feet have been flattening a bit and I would get ingrown big toenails on both feet, partly due to the cramped toebox. I switched to SAS shoes which have large toeboxes and had them remeasure my shoe size. It was actually a 10.5 to 11.0 EE to EEE wide which I've found to be much more comfortable. With that in mind, when I looked for modern cycling shoes (not my old Italian style with super narrow lasts - the old Euro style), I found Shimano makes Wide sizes. Now I use a Shimano R088 (3-4 year old style) in a 46E Wide and fits perfectly although seems awfully long.
That's where the MKS LL toeclip comes in, it allows the ball of my foot to fit back over the correct spot on the pedal and gives mostly enough vertical space to not put pressure on my toes. I used pliers as mentioned above to shape the toeclip over the toebox off the shoes. The only downside to them is they may cause overlap with the front tire if your wheelbase is shorter, you're running wider/taller tires, or you tend to overlap anyway. Also, with narrow/shorter tires and longer cranks, you may find you're scraping the toeclip on the ground. I actually had that happen for awhile and in a couple of instances, the clip actually snapped when it caught the ground on a pedal stroke when I couldn't clip in and rode on the upturned pedal bottom, driving the clip front into the ground. Never thought I could snap a steel clip before. So I always buy a couple of pairs and have them handy If I need to replace just one. They come with all metric hardware to install on any classic pedal. One version also comes with leather accents. There are also versions that are deep (taller toebox) that may help in specific situations.
