Steering Column and My Size 10s

If I mis-place my left foot on the clutch pedal slightly and turn the steering wheel at the same time, I can feel the steering column move against my foot.

Is this a normal Mini thing, am I missing some piece of protective plastic or have I just got big feet ?

My size 10's

Occasionally my foot will catch the brake and accelerator simultaneously if I'm wearing certain shoes. It's one of my very few aggravations with the car.

What's the conversion? UK to US in sizes.

I wear a 12.5 - 13 in the US and haven't noticed too much of a problem. Although I've only driven 2 MINIs and sat in a couple dozen. Is it a matter of me not dancing aggressively enough during my test drives?

Will my I trip over my partner after we get past the first few encounters and begin to dance intimately?

Size 11.5 US and never had a problem with the steering column or other pedals.

Gotten anything useful from MINI2? How about giving a little something back?
