By you saying your feet point out alot when you walk, you could have flat feet or excessive angulation in your foot, ankle, tibia/fibula, knee or hip. Without examining you I can't really tell.
I would try to find a sports-medicine oriented doctor and talk to him/her about your knee pain. You might want to go back to your toeclips for now. You don't want to do permanent damage to your patellofemoral joint or cause your patella to permanently track incorrectly.

Hey Bontrager,
I've had issues with flat feet since I was in junior high. Is there anything I should be aware of in fitting my bike when it comes to this issue. I bought some off the shelf insoles with a moderate arch support over a year ago. I also have big feet, size 13. I've always had a tendency to "toe pedal", could flat or long feet contribute to this? Thanks...
