Toe Clips For Big Feet



Does anyone know a company that sells toe clips for people with large
feet? I wear a size 14, and even the extra large toe clips are a bit
small.

Are you talking clips as in SPD's or cages. If it's cages, JD is your man.

When did toe clips mean anything but toe clips? What are cages?

Giant puts their name on toeclips labeled as "large" that work for my
size 14 clodhoppers. If you have tried those and don't find them large
enough, try a pedal wit a larger platform.

Also, once you get the largest ones you can find, they can be extended by using
longer screws and some tubing as spacers.

PowerGrips - they make them pretty big and a lot of Iditasport
racers/winter riders use them with boots.

I've tried them and they put my feet to sleep. They are definitely not
made for bigger feet.

As fas as Cresswell's solution, I'd use a small block of hardwood, or
even aluminum with a couple of holes drilled through it instead of
pipe, just for more stability. You'd probably have to get longer bolts
as well, depending on how thick your custom shim is.

And you shall remain confused.

a victim of collision on the open sea
nobody ever said that life was free
sank, swam, go down with the ship
but use your freedom of choice

i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
your freedom of choice

in ancient rome there was a poem
about a dog who found two bones
he picked at one
he licked the other
he went in circles
he dropped dead

freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!

then if you got it you don't want it
seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by what you see
you got two ways to go

i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
freedom of choice

freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!

freedom from choice
is what you want

Which size did you use? They make one that's a bit longer that might
work without putting too much pressure on the top of your foot, but
like you mention below, there are quite a few creative solutions, just
gotta give 'em a try and see if it works.

The big ones. I like toeclips. Steep downhill technical mistakes are
not very costly when you are used to just sliding your foot back and
stepping off. No twists or turns of the foot makes for a very quick
exit.
