Recently I added a set of bike fit in-the-shoe wedges to my shoes because I was noticing that it was very hard to control the tracking of my knees (collapsing towards the top tube) when I did sustained efforts over threshold, especially at higher cadences. I regularly do strength training and glute exercises and after doing some research I figured I'd give them a shot. The very first ride I noticed how much better my pedal stroke felt and how much more solid and stable I felt on the bike. However, I began to get some pain in my knees, especially around my IT bands. Obviously I took out the shims since they were causing pain, but I lost the stability that came along with them.

Anyone have any ideas on adjustments I could make to my shoe/pedal interface that would give me the stability of the wedges that wouldn't cause me knee pain?
