That seems pretty much about the toe overlap that we've all experienced.
Add in fenders and the added bits potentially of the struts sticking out more, especially with fatter tires, and it can be an issue.
At least without traps we can adjust our foot position, I do this on my commuter with fenders to help with shoes hitting fender stays.
