Conincidentally, I am a size 11/4E too, and I have some bad news for
you: No true platform pedal is going to serve you. However, of the countless pairs of pedals I've owned, only one fit me flawlessly: The MKS Touring model http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/pedals.html BTW, I only run conventional toe clips on these, so your mileage may vary with those PowerGrips. |

Need Wide Pedals for big feet help
I'm currently running the MKS GR-9's - they provide a great deal of foot
pain on long rides with my canvas converse high tops , I'll look into the touring ones. The power grips are at the largest setting for my feet but they work extremely well. Question, what type of shoes are you running. I know they used to sell hard bottom shoes for touring but I doubt if in our size "Adam Rush" wrote in message oups.com...

My shoes are just New Balance sneakers. There's nothing particularly
special about them, hard or soft. Also, there are exactly zero pairs of shoes for people like us, unless you want to spend $300+. I highly recommend moving on up to the MKS Touring pedals and, perhaps, traditional toe clips. This suits me better than anything else I've tried. |

have you experience plywood?
at 14W, i bought nashbar bear traps and bolted ply both sides with 8's held by the traps teeth. Comfort: the extra width allows the hips to motion in a more "natural" orbit with off course a slight decrease in forward speed upwind. this is a big deal- narrowness may be steel costs savings and not anyhing but the mod takes no more than two hours to hack out.cut four squares.clamp together and sabresaw as one. drill ditto. paint with yellow rusto. and when crossing the 4 wide express blvd in a wide upstream arc keep that inside foot up!! |

Have you considered Kneesavers? http://www.bikescor.com/product/knee.htm Baaically these allow you to move your pedals farther out from the crank arms, giving you more clearance for bigger feet. |

That's a great suggestion, my feet do rub the cranks when peddaling! The
other suggestion of some sort of wood is worth looking into also. I tried the french christophe toe clips in X large and the straps are just too short, also the toe ends are not wide enough for me.
