Toe Clearance and bigger tires

What geometry measurement will indicate toe/shoe clearance?

Road bike tire clearance is going up. Not uncommon to be able to fit 32s, even 35s. I had 32s on my Trek Emonda; however, my foot would hit the front tire if I didn't pay attention when slow city riding or doing sharp turns.

Maybe big tires and road geometry isn't the best combo. Anyways, how do I tell if a bike will have more shoe/toe clearance from a geometry chart?

Thanks.
