I recently changed over from the 6 degree to the 1 degree floats after my fitter said it wouldn't hurt. Same time she also fitted insoles so not sure of the difference. I know the combo has made me feel smoother in my pedaling.

My typical ride is 65-70 miles, and usually my quads and right knee (broken femur, titanium rod running from hip to just above the knee) are kinda sore the rest of the ride day. Now, with the blue cleats, no soreness at all.
The reason I ask is because I have four new yellow cleats I had bought last year at a good price, and now I am thinking maybe to get rid of them on Craigslist and totally stick with the blue 1^ float cleats.
Anybody with similar experience?
Whaddaya think?
