Only time I notice it on my cross bikes is when I have large tires on them and even then it was only remotely an issue when on mtb trails doing sharp slow turns or doing a track stand. I never felt like I was going to loose control of the bike or fall down and even if I did it would only be a slow speed fall which is more funny than painful. You could always get shorter crank arms and or try adjusting your cleat placement. Oh, wait with full fenders now I remember why I threw away my fenders I kept knocking them out of alignment with my feet really annoyed the piss out of me.
