Follow up on previous post Positioning Cleats

I have moved my cleats back as far as possible as suggested in the previous post and agree that seems to be a better position as suggested in the linked discussions.

I have taken the next step and gotten the trusty Dremel Tool out and lengthened the slots in my Kato shoes. As soon as the Monsoon ends I’ll give you an update on how moving the cleats even further back works out.

6/6/07 update

Moving the cleats back an additional 1/4 using a Dremel Tool helped significantly on the right foot but left foot still needs to move further back.

    How far back can you go with this diy approach?

    As as far as you want I expect, but I have gone slowly and found that after about a 1/4″ I have gone far enough.
