I don’t claim to be an expert. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Im sorry if I gave bad advice. I jumped into this thread assuming the question was about foot placement on the pedal and offered advice I thought was practical and correct.

Not to derail this thread too far off topic, but I am curious about your slew-footed cycling How did you deal with toe clips and straps back in the day? Does your 30 degree heel rub your crank arm? We can start a new topic or discuss this in pm if you like.
