    I've always unclipped heal out. I'm naturally a bit duck footed and if I got lazy about how my toes were pointed on a previous cleat system, I'd accidentally pop my foot out. My frogs don't let me do that.

    BF was saying that it's safer to unclip heel out - because if you unclip heel in with your pedal towards the back, you're putting your foot into your chain stays or chain, if you have the pedal towards the front, you're unclipping by putting your heel into the frame.... and depending how the bike is in motion during something like that, it could end up bad... Of course, he's a guy and has bigger feet.
