Sounds like you would be better off without float, and with a careful cleat alignment.

use a washer, or a spacer.

on the pedal spindle where it threads into the crank.

First off, I love the float. I also haven't had a problem getting in and out of them, I don't know what all the fuss is about.

However, the arch of my left foot seems to always want to rub on the pedal arm. The front of the cleat is as far "in" as it'll go, if I try adjusting the back of the cleat more inward, it places the cleat at an awkward angle. I find myself riding with my heel out as much as it'll go, just to keep my foot from rubbing. There's a very narrow spot where my foot doesn't feel awkward, and is not rubbing, but I have to really put a lot of thought and concentration into keeping my foot there, in which I might as well not have any float.

How can I fix this?

Are you using "wide" sized Lake shoes?

They may not be compatable with some Look pedals. See the Lake site...something about "q" factor..

Maybe have a look at the Nashbar site for some of their pedals like the Ventoux Mag 2 Road Pedal that are wider ($40 pr)
