Cleat Positioning

Adjusting the cleats on your cycling shoes is essential to ensure efficient and pain-free pedaling. Here are some key steps to do it correctly:

1. Choose the right shoes : Make sure your shoes are comfortable and the right size. The insole and the locking system are important for optimal power transfer.

2. Position your cleats : The cleats should be positioned so that the pedal axle is between the first and fifth metatarsal heads. This helps maintain a neutral foot position.

3. Align the cleats : Align the cleats so that the ball of your foot is aligned with the pedal axle. This can be done by marking the position on your shoe and then aligning the cleats.

4. Adjust your position : Depending on your anatomy, you can position your foot so that it is parallel or slightly more open when the pedal is perpendicular to the ground. This helps to avoid overloading and injuries.
