Cleat on one shoe keeps rotating slightly...?

Is it possible to over-tighten? Apparently I'm not tightening it enough (only on the right shoe, which is odd, since that's not the foot I unclip to stop). Drives me nuts when I get in the middle of a ride and start having discomforts...look down and notice that I'm toeing out.

This is a problem with some cleats, the little screws are hard to get to stay put. Loctite solved the issue for me.

I wondered if something like Loctite would work.

The strange thing is that the same cleats never had this issue on my Sidis...but my Sidis didn't fit me. My LGs fit much better, but they don't have as grippy a base for the cleats.

I wonder if the shoes are stripped. I've seen it happen - luckily not to me.

I hope not. They are practically brand new. I've been having this issue on the right shoe since I first wore them.

If they are stripped or one is just loose, you can probably replace the insert--you might have to contact the manufacturer for a new part. I've had this issue with one of the bolt holes--not the cleat bolts--coming loose in the shoe. The threads weren't stripped, but the effect was the same, since the insert would spin freely in the sole. Many shoes that I've seen have a flap cut or, like Sidis, have a perforated bit for you to cut, under the insole where you can get to the cleat insert hardware. It can be kind of a pain to access the parts, depending on how small your shoes are, but it's probably fixable.
