Cheap rim brakes are junk but they are much much better than cheap disc brakes. If I had to buy a new bike I would never buy disc brakes because of my bad experiences.

Also even when set up "correctly" they are prone to rubbing on the pads. Its the nature of the beast with disc brakes
You know… toe overlap can be useful in some circumstances.

However closed toe shoes are generally recommended to maintain the integrity of the toe.
