When I first started racing back in the early 70's, two approaches to foot angle were often contrasted in the bike articles of the time. Jacques Anquetil was notable for his "pointed down" style, while Eddy Merckx displayed a very crushing level-footed technique with some heel drop at the front of the stroke. Perhaps the level-footed style is de rigueur these days, but I've seen good riders use both. As long as you've got the saddle set to the correct height (you should be able to rest your heel on the pedal (in stockinged feet) at its furthest position from the saddle (so in-line with the seat tube, NOT at its lowest postiion), but the leg will be completely straight), I would just do what comes naturally. Unless, of course, some muscles start complaining over a period of time.

I would also be disinclined to accept the opinion of fitters unless they can show documented proof behind their assertions. I have seen too many "experts" who know NOTHING!
