I don't know that you can make it "looser." And if you use Crank Brothers pedals we likely have the same type of clips on the shoe itself. One of the two clips causes the shoes to disengage at less of an angle of rotation. I was told to put this clip on the right shoe. This was intriguing to me so I confirmed it in the docs with the product. However, it did not suggest a shoe for placement. Go figure?
