I honestly don't understand what you are saying, and why you quoted me. I ride platform pedals as well. I do not use clip less. I feel a large platform pedal works, for me, with any shoe I want to wear. The platform supplies all the support my foot needs. There is no real flexing of the shoe because the pedal supports it. Now, if you run your seat too high and pedal toes down, that can change things make you place your foot too far back on the pedal because you are reaching. Put your seat where it should be and there are no issues.
