I'm trying to remember the last time I had a bike that didn't have toe overlap.
It's only an issue when making u-turns.

Have you considered slightly shorter crank arms in addition to a fender that stops a few degrees higher on the circumference of the wheel? While I don't think your bike is unrideable as is, those two things could solve your problem.

I don't think I've ever ridden a bike with less overlap than that. I never had a problem except when making extremely slow speed (nearly stopped), extremely tight U-turns.
By the time you are in a turn tight enough to require that much wheel movement, you will not likely be pedaling, anyway. You will have the inside pedal straight up.
