I wear 10.5 C/D shoes, and damn if my shoes are too wide to operate the MINI's mini-footwell pedals. No work boots, wing-tips, hiking-approach shoes, running shoes, or 'urban-assault' shoes fit.

Chuck Taylors are OK, though. Guess I have to buy 'dress' driving shoes now (or 'Eye-talyen' loafers).

Mine are very close to too wide if not too wide, but I have adjusted by not using the widest part of my foot. It is natural now, but if I shift my foot and the widest part moves down (or up, I have no idea what I actually do), the brake gets hit. That's the best way I can explain it. Either use the toe, or arch area seems to work for me and it is not something I think about, but it does still hit once and a while, but most times it doesn't.

Mine are 7 3/4 EEE. I usually wear 8-9s. My current favorite MINI shoes are Adidas.

I wear a size 15EE and it's a little tight down there, but I can drive my Mini no problem.

The only problems I have is when I wear my big clunky hiking boots. And I think that's more due to not being able to feel the pedal position very well with my foot.

The pedals on Fenimore work quite well for heel and toe, I must say.

I wear 11.5 narrow and I have to operate the clutch with the left side of my left foot to avoid hitting the foot rest/dead pedal. The ergonomics are not for large people.

Yep, it's the foot rest/dead pedal that's the culprit for me, too.

I wear 10.5 4E or H width (when I can find them) and I have no problems with the pedal spacing.

Try some Adidas Samba's. They are indoor soccer shoes and are incredibly comfortable to wear from the moment you put them on new. But they are a thin profile on your foot. I have had moments with other shoes where I get "hung up" on the wrong pedal, but never while using those shoes. Plus my "other ride", my 1971 Triumph TR6 has a similar pedal arrangement and they work well in that car also.
