  1. I am a hopeless devotee of toeclips. I have tried SPD (reasonably priced) and Look (nice...) pedals
    a handful of times and I do see things to like. However, I am someone who absolutely needs 4E shoes
    (an American measure of shoe width). Before I go out and order something (there's no cycle butiques
    anywhere around here), what do you recommend to give me shoe width and crank clearance?

    If you like Look pedals then to give you the shoe width and crank clearance I would recommend the
    Look CX7 pedal. This is Look's top-of-the-range road pedal. It has a relatively wide carbon platform
    but the real advantage is that you can adjust the "Q-factor". This is the effective distance that
    the pedal is from the crank. You can adjust upto 10mm, which should give you enough clearance.

    What's the catch - make sure you have a wallet that matches your feet as they are very expensive.

    I missed the OP so I'll launch off you ...

    Speedplay also offers longer spindles for their pedals.
