Wide pedals that accept toe clips?

So I have wide feet, and the pedals on the used hybrid that I bought just don't support my feet well...my little toe basically hangs off the pedal, and I get uncomfortable pressure on the base of the second toe from the edge of the pedal frame. I've found a number of recommendations for wide pedals (VP-001, Crank Bros Stamp), but neither of them look like they work with half-clip toe clips like this:

since those bolt in to the reflector mounting holes.

Can anyone recommend a pedal that is in the 105-115mm range (platform measurement) that would be compatible with this style of toe clip? Thanks!

Have you seen the MKS Urban Platform? Much nicer than quills if you're riding in street shoes.

Only 80mm wide just isn't going to cut it for my feet.

I have wide feet also. Sylvan Tour Pedals were the widest I could find and they work great for my big feet. I tried many pedals, I am surprised the pedals you have are as wide as the Sylvans.

MKS Lambda Grip King Pedal: They are long front to back and you use no toe clip. I have wide feet and no foot pain like with the sylvan pedals.

Take a look at these:
VP Components VP-Vex Dual Concave Aluminum Pedal with Replaceable Pins

Work great with these:
Zefal "Cristophe Mountain Bicycle Half Toe Clips, L/XL

The studs on the pedals are removable, so you can take off any you don’t need. They are very wide, stable and grippy. And the depth profile is fairly slim.

I tried to post weblinks, but apparently I’m too new to these forums to be trusted. Search Amazon or just do a google search. Hope this helps, good luck!

I have been using these pedals for a few years, with toe clips, other than some scrapes they are flawless.

Wow...all sorts of great advice. I had looked at the VP web page, and I don't remember seeing the Vex. They look pretty affordable, too. Those Wellgo's in the post above look good too, if I can get them in something other than red.

So many of the big BMX/MTB style pedals seem to have thin edges...I'm glad there seem to be some options out there that will accept toe clips. Thanks for helping me find them!

OMG is Wellgo's website terribly designed. Makes it so hard to find something in particular. Need to wander over to the LBS to see what they offer, as well.

Lambda grip king , the ends come off and you can add power grip straps , then bolt the ends back on,,


I use Ergon pedals , no toe clips , the large is a ping pong paddle like size..
