That's an interesting point- that the small shoe would distort the cleat and stick up the works. I wonder how many women with small feet could do the release with shear muscle but can't because of that? At least you or some really good mechanic figured out that spacing the cleat out with washers would help. I bet that put you way ahead of all the woman riders who aren't super mechanical geniuses. Which is most of us, I just like to ride.

I have a dirty little secret- I haven't been on LOOKs in four years, I've had a long slow boring recovery from multiple injuries and all my riding has been in Chilies with clips and straps. Now I finally get to go to spin class, and I have beautiful new red and silver Lake shoes with LOOK cleats for class- the bikes are LOOK on one side and SPD on the other, and I use ATAC for my MT bike. Good rationalization for shoe lust- these are yummy pretty!
It'll be really interesting to see how the technique has been preserved in my nervous system. Can I still clip out, or not? I may be one naked Empress of Hot Air. Snicker, LOL
I really miss days on the highways. I even miss the smelly roadkill.
