shoe hitting tire concerns

[Susan]

How do I measure crank length? I have quite a bit of toe overlap on my streetbike and thinking about it, the cranks seem incredibly long (hit the ground when I lean the bike easily).
Can I just put shorter cranks on without changing anything else? Maybe this could solve a bunch of issues with this bike when I read your comments.

I'm not sure how you properly measure them, I think on some the size is marked. You can just change the crank, but it's not a cheap endeavor, depending on what you get. Originally I just needed the left crank arm, but the manufacturer changed the spindle, so no go.
