i think if you have long toes, you are more prone to overhang than the rest. i find that when i'm walking in the VPs, my feet tend to slide forward (as with other high-pitched shoes, just gravity doing its thing), and so what once started as good with no toe overhang becomes some toe overhang. i find that ball of foot pads help tremendously with this issue since it prevents the foot from sliding forward.
there's also this amazing product
lavenderice clued me in on.... it's very thin, so it won't crowd the toebox and make it feel tighter

otherwise if the shoe is a tad loose, you can use these regular ball of foot pads

otherwise, you could try a peeptoe in a shorter heel height (3 inches or less, such as yoyo 85mm) so that your foot doesn't slide forward, and hence you won't have toe overhang.
good luck! the VP is still one of my favorite styles, regardless of this issue.
