I know Caterhams are tight down there and special shoes help,anyone bent the pedals to get a better fit? pics of your mods VERY welcome ,here's  mine at the moment before i mod them ,does it look normal? first pics is above,the second pic i am thinking  of bending the clutch 20mm left and the brake 5-10mm to the right

Have you got a standard or lowered floor? I found a lowered floor created more foot room for my size 11s. It must be because you sit lower, as the lowered floor tapers up to the level of the original flat floor at the point where your heels are. I still can only drive in certain shoes that are usually narrow with no sole overhang!

lowered floor is my last hope,I think positioning of the pedals will help,like you ,i have to place my foot lightly on the clutch(help with pre load till i get the correct spring) whist going through the box or under it when cruising,SV i hear you but i like the s3 shape More side movement would be bliss ,

That looks typical as a starting position.

Have you got the Assembly Guide section on adjustment? Let me know if you need a copy.

And beyond that as Tim says you can make big changes by altering the pedal surfaces... one of mine currently has a section of mahogany handrail.

And there's a lot on this in the archives.

PS: What size shoes, and have you tried specialist driving/ karting/ boxing footwear?

There are two pedal options for the brake pedal, one straight and one offset which moves the pedal  circa 15mm toward the clutch both are interchangeable.

If you are just looking for a few mm then take the pedal rubbers off and add skateboard tape to the pedals you gain 4mm each side of the pedals as you loose the rubber overhang
