Tis true,
I've got a 29" inseam and size 9 feet which, due to their girth, fit a size 10 shoe. I experiance toe overlap on pretty much every bike I ride. according to Ninerbikes I'm only 1" and 1 shoe size short of being in the circus, cheeky buggers.
"You'll notice that the SMALL Niner has a slacker head tube angle and a steeper seat tube angle. This was to allow for better toe clearance with the front wheel. With the larger tires of the 29" wheel, toe overlap is an important factor. We had to make sure that with the bottom bracket in the forward most position, there was ample room for a normal size foot to clear the front wheel. If you're 5'6" and wear a size twelve shoe, you might have some problems here, but then again, you should probably be in the circus."
