    Reposition the cleat on that shoe, I have the same issue and the cleat on my right shoe is angled WAY in to compensate. Remember when setting up cleat angle it all works in the opposite way that you think it would.

    Very important thing with cleats is getting the angle correct . Sit on a high bench or wall or something & allow your legs to dangle . Take your eyes off them for a minute & relax.

    Now look at the position of your feet , very few feet are perfectly straight , they will angle out slightly . This is the position you want them on your peddles , if you force your feet to sit perfectly straight you will do serious damage to your knees.

    If your using shimanos , remember you can loosen the mechanism on the peddles so they release easily , until it becomes second nature , then you can tighten them up .
