David,

Your problem may be more easily solved by using a "Kneesaver Pedal Saver" adapter which will space your pedal/foot/anklebrace about 1/2 - 5/8" further out from the crank.

I use such an item on the left crank of some of my on topic bikes with non curved/splayed cranks in order that my ankle does not contact the crank due to my splayed feet, the left being even worse than the right.

I obtained these adapters as a left and right set from Elliot Bay Cycles in Seattle WA around 1998, I believe Sheldon Brown has these stocked at Harris Cyclery.
