This is more of a question then an answer, but have you tried adjusting the position of your shifter a couple of notches up and/or down? Doesn't make up for your big feet / small space problem, but it might give you an easier transition until you can find a more perm. fix. I know that I played around with mine for a while before I finally reversed the shift pattern.
Thanks for the advice, and yes, I've adjusted it quite a bit. Any higher than I have it now, and my foot rests on the lever while riding. Not a real good thing for me.
I ran across these adjustable pegs while searching last night. They're the MFW Adjustable Foot Peg System from monsterparts. You can see the parts at
