Big Feet and Stock Pedals

Hey, I have size 14 feet and it's uncomfortable using the stock pedals, especially the clutch. The toes of my left foot end up bending backwards when you push in on the clutch.

I'm thinking of maybe aftermarket pedals or some racing shoes to help. Any bigger guys have any ideas?

Just get some wrestling shoes. Less expensive than racing shoes, plus if you get into a roadside altercation, you look that much more intimidating.

i wear 12's and 13's depending on brands and i don't have problems, i'd say adjust your heal/toe angles and your seat to make your feet as verticle as possible

I wear 14's and in daily driving I don't have a problem. I find it hard to heal toe just because of the size of my foot I end up getting more pedal than I want. Some shoes are easier than others.

I think the issue here is big clunky shoes. I wear 12-13 shoes and have zero issues except it was a little tougher driving when i was wearing a pair of big steel toe work boots.

Im in 13.5 dress shoes (1" sole) in my daily driver, it took some getting used to but you can adjust.

Yeah, the biggest problem is when I wear my big clunky work shoes. It's not as bad with smaller sneakers. I'll try and get some wrestling or racing shoes to see how that works.
