I twist heel out. I agree about the knee comment. I have tried some tighter tension cleats/pedals that required more force to get out... it was not knee pain... it was ankle pain (more like ache). But, I don't have really strong joints/ligaments either.

spds, heel out, almost always right first.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Heels out. Ride with multi-release SPD's, so I can release with an inward motion also, but that just feels awkward.

Heels out (with spd's) for me...
One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

Heels out - usually when the pedal is at 3 o'clock. but it's much better for your knees (and probably ankles too) if you can force yourself to develop the habit of clipping out when your pedal is at 6 o'clock, the bottom of the pedal stroke. I'm trying to change! Tokie
