Interesting. I'm about 2 inches taller than you and ride the exact same bike, but in a 60. Shoes are 13. Don't have any toe overlap, unless I'm crazy.

Bikes: 2000 Klein Quantum
Newish rider (to road), OG (old guy), 6'1", 30" inseam (taller upper body). 46 shoes. 2000 Klein Quantum 55, 700cc/28's. Surprise surprise, discovered this "toe overlap" phenomenon on this morning's ride.
And, I'm a trouble maker, so I am enjoying firing up this thread again
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is cleat position, mine's set pretty far back towards my heel as I had read is good for short legs, tallish upper body. And, at the possibility of getting flamed, I will admit I'm riding in shimano mtb shoes and the toes may not be pointy but they certainly are not boxy.
Yes! An excuse to investigate a new shoe purchase.
Peace o/

Both of my 56 cannondales overlap, I thought it was just because I have big feet. I asked for some shoes in my shop and they acted like 47 was crazy.

6'1" rider, size 12 shoe, Cannondale R900, overlap.
It took me a few years to even notice it. Most all the time you never need to put your foot there with the fork turned like that.

It isn't a problem when riding normally. At those times you steer with your weight, not by turning the front wheel. But when going very slowly through debris or starting a turn from a stop, you sometimes have the crank at 3:00 and the wheel turned.
