I should ask this in the SoCal forum, but if any SoCal'ers happen to read this... do you know of any good fitters who can fit my cleats/shoes for me?
Your foot should, generally, not be straight (Parallel to the bike for example). Without someone to do it properly, bascially your feet should be in the position on your bike that they would naturally go to if you did not have cleats. From there, straightening the leg's next, usually the best bet is a Lemond Lewedge, but you really need a fitter for that.
An explanation and there's a photo attached below. The lewedge straightens your leg (generally most people's legs tilt inward or outward). Also, a properly fitted cleat will prevent your toes from getting numb while riding.
Can't help with the rest...Socal's not my sphere of influence.
