New shoes, one size bigger then previous pair & toe is rubbing front tire
 

I was ridding a pair of Mavic shoes and decided to switch as I felt the toe box was a little cramped and my toes hurt after long rides. I bought a new pair of 2011 Specialized comp road shoes that were one size bigger. Went from 45-46. Again I changed brands, so there are some differences there as well.

Long story short on my first ride out, I rubbed the toe of the shoe against the front tire. left a little mark on my shoe, was not happy about that, but now I am concerened that this could cause an issue and this could happen again. I would hate for this to happen while riding and cause me to wreck. Does anyone else have this issue.

I could move the cleat forward but that concerns me as I have had knee issues this year and moved the cleats back to fix the pain. I can probably move them up a little bit but I don't think that would be enough to give me enough clearance.

What should I do.

That happpens with short frames. Get used to it. By the time you get new shoes you will know how to avoid it.

Toe overlap,

As stated it happens. Just try to be savvy of the situation when track standing, or slow maneuvering.

yeah, you'll get used to it. And FYI, it doesn't happen during regular riding. It can only happen when you're going 2-3mph, and you can be aware of toe overlap then. Any faster and you don't have to turn the wheel that far to make a turn

That exactly when it happend. Luckily it didnt hurt the shoe that much, I was just kind of bummed, especially since it was the first ride out in the shoes. I will just have to be more aware of it in the future.

Yea, this happens with frames made for average sized people (a.k.a. short frames). You mostly get used to it and avoid it, but every now and then you do it on accident.

I have 3 bikes and only one doesn't have toe overlap issues.

no big deal

At least you didn't kick your fender out of alignment.

These work like a charm on my white shoes. Mine hit too and the previous posts are correct, you won't hit during a regular ride.
