I wear 11 to 12 shoes (Converse run big, Adidas run small, etc) and use MKS steel clips in "LL" that place the ball of my foot right over the pedal spindle.

A lot depends on the shoes. My 9.5 boots in "L" MKS clips are obviously a secure fit, but if I wear shoes that taper at the front, this size lets my foot pivot way too much. Time to go "M"--thanks, Benscycle, for misleading me.

I have some MKS XLs I think on a Swobo Sanchez and they scrape the **** out of the ground, to the point where I've nearly crashed a few times, and I can't clip in because they wont flip without hitting. LBS didn't warn me about this at all when I asked.. what should I do? I'm thinking about Powergrips, which have some mixed reviews of course..

I wear a size US11/EUR44 shoe and find when it comes to purely Japanese sizing and selection that Fujilatex Capeau Ultra LL, Okamoto Super Big Boy L, and Sagami Original L-Size, fit the best in that order.

**** you.
TruVativ Touro is the crankset, same as a Pista, I think... I'll just go with power grips. I'm only 145 so I don't think I'll have the breaking issues.
