I dont know about u guys-- buy my size 12s get in the way of the pedals.
That pedal box area is cramped--u can catch ur left heel on the clutch and make a jerky launch from a stop-- oh well I gues I should shift less and rev more

Hi Mike. I wear 13s and haven't had that problem. I do find myself catching my heel on the handle to move the seat up and down when I'm getting out of the car sometimes though.

My problem is that the side of my foot hits the brake when I press on the gas. I guess the bonus is that that heel and toe for me is 'big toe and little toe'.

I wear a 12EE wide...at first I was having issues but realized I wasn't placing my foot directly on the pedal....It's not a problem anymore....just had to adjust to the smaller margin for error.
