Wider pedals for giant calves?

[WattsWheelhouse]

New to EUCs, but my sherman is forcing me a bit bow legged. I'm a track cycling sprinter, and good genetics blessed me with the legs for it. They're not ideal for straddling this rolling box though. I ride with my feet pretty far forward (toes slightly off the front) and outside of my feet are slightly hanging off the outside of the stock pedals. I use minimalist sneakers, and can feel exactly where my feet are on them. No pads, and as it is, I couldn't imagine using any like this. Is this a good case for wider pedals? Maybe just stiffer shoes? 

 

Sorry for the amount of questions lately, but you all really seem super knowledgeable and willing to help! A rarity on many forums/groups

Chris Chaput (abec11@gmail.com) was making fully custom pedals earlier this summer, I don't know how that worked out but it might be worth a conversation. Length, width, dihedral all can be spec'd. I think he has a commercial machine shop (or at least access to lots of machine tools). He's a great guy to do business with. Of course, "custom" and "machining" (in CA) means they're going to be expensive.

BTW, not being 'square on' the pedals isn't necessarily a bad thing. I ride with about 1/3 of each foot off the outboard side of the pedals... just feels right. Might be harder on the feet, but I ride in hiking boots so it's not something I've felt any need to change.

Check Clarkpads.com pedals for the Sherman, don’t know the specs but they’re larger and spikes makes you more planted than the skateboard paper on stock pedals.

OP doesn't skip leg days. Respect.
