It is also affected by your riding position which dictates where you are applying the forces. So in this case I went with feel and results and so far so good. I will report back with an update in the near future. Again every rider is different and so are shoes. I am not advocating that everyone needs to have their cleats slammed forward, just simply that going by feel instead of getting confused by what everyone else says.
