I've adjusted the the cleats on my shoes as best as I can and at normal riding speeds there's no issue. It's only when turning sharply at extremely slow speeds that the issue arises.
Taz - Seach the forum for "Toe Overlap Calculator" there is a good one built into a spreadsheet on that thread.
Im on a medium bike Ive got overlap issues as well. It stems primarily from the overall wheelbase and head tube angle. Typical is less than 100cm wheelbase you might have some toe overlap.
its really only an issue when Im turning aroun180 degrees on the road. Ive learned to keep my outside foot on the down stroke when turning. Its not a problem most of the time.

I should clarify here... 100cm on 700c wheels. You might be able to fix with a set of 650b wheels if the tires on them dont make up for the difference. Not sure 650bs would do well on this bikes smaller frame. Would be great to see some pics if someone has them on theirs.
