Unless toe overlap drives you crazy. I had a touring bike with toe overlap, and replaced it. It was a matter of safety. I nearly lost control of the bike too many times because my foot knocked the front wheel while starting up at low speeds. Not fun when riding fully loaded and needing to start up a steep hill.
