new shoes? check your saddle height
I keep learning this lesson over and over, and this morning I got to relearn it. Whenever I buy new shoes it seems like the sole is a different thickness than the old pair, and I end up adjusting the saddle height to compensate for the change.

Check your cleat location as well. I don't pedal with toes down all through the stroke, but ankling a bit means the optimum saddle height varies with how far back my cleats are set.
