Cleat positioning???

[makbike]

When I went for my fitting they moved my as far forward as possible due to my severe "toe pointing." It has helped.

Mine are slightly back from the balls of the feet. Not to the arch by any means.

On my clip free commuter, I ride in pretty much the same spot.

My apologies this guy is not a Dr, but a cyclist. My husband was reading the first article and did a google search and the next site was found. I know that what may work for this guy may not work for me, but I do like to be informed and get feed back from others. I'm very new to cycling, so your imput is really appriecated.
Thank you for the imput so far.

Sheldon Brown www.sheldonbrown.com and Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists are both very good resources.

At first I thought this thread was titled "Cleat Poisoning".

This shouldn't require drilling more holes. He's only talking about something like a 5mm move back from first metatarsal over pedal spindle. The plate in the shoe will easily move that much. I tend to follow this fit generally. Works well for me. It eliminated hot spots I'd get on the balls of my feet from having the cleats too far forward.
