Being small footed (9/42), even though reasonably tall (5’11”), I used a large clip without issue.
Maybe some of the larger footed folks on here could provide some direction!

Well, you know what they say, big feet, big....shoes. I have one set of pedals with toe clips and straps that gets moved from vintage bike to vintage bike, mostly for organized vintage bike rides (Eroica, Cino, etc.) Everything else is mostly SPD, a couple bikes have platform pedals on them. One of the biggest reasons I left toe clips behind is foot pain. Toe clipse against my toes, straps cutting off circulation, etc. I did find the largest toe clips I could find in a used bin at at local co-op, this is what goes on my toe clipped pedals. My feet are too wide for most quill pedals, so I do the ol' trick and use track style pedals - there's no "upswept bit" at the end of the pedals that force my foot inwards towards the crank, often with interference issues.
