I agree with you, it the frame is too small, then that's a small issue. No matter what, the ball of the foot should be right over the pedal spindle hitting the front tire or not.
Same with me, untill I got my most recent 2 frames, newer tight geometry in a 50, I've twice now locked up and gone down turning 180 while going uphill and having had the toe contact the back of the rear tire, bringing me to a dead stop. Live and learn.
