I wear US size 13, and I use the tightest holes on the extra long straps. In fact I'm planning to punch another set of holes one size smaller and see how that works.

Not really. Mine hang 110-120 degrees forward from flat, so a little past vertical. Either side takes some work to get onto at that point. After a few months, it became a habit to step on the pedal with my foot moving back, which flips the strap up. The only problem is that the strap occasionally catches my toe and I have to take my foot off the pedal to reset it.
