I have had massive foot pain for a while and attribute a lot of it to a small pedal surface and narrow q factor bike for my wide q factor body. I found some relief by using SPD's and pedal extenders, but I still end up getting numb spots while riding. I have been looking at getting some Time Atac Z pedals as they seem to have a fairly good sized surface, much like a platform that I can still click into. They are heavy as hell on the downside at 512 grams, but then again so am I. My shoes have plenty of space in the toe box, but I find I am riding on the outside edge of my foot a lot. Has anybody tried the Specialized Body Geometry shoes and the semi-custom beds?
