that's big! I'm a 13 but wear 14 snow boots. so that might be close to a regular shoe size 15?

I made my own 1/2 clips. basically a big toe clip with the top snapped off. sometimes I have to bend them a tiny bit Mks Double Strap Toe Clip L






they work great & I had them on 3 bikes (currently experimenting with cleated shoes & pedals on one bike)

BUT! I also had to make extensions so that the 1/2 clip was further forward allowing correct foot position on the pedal
