I have been riding Speedplay x2’s for about 10 years. I got a fit this year since I bought a new road bike and the fitter recommended Shimano pedals and said he doesn’t like Speedplay. I tried Shimano. My feet are basically locked into one place where the Speedplays I can easily move around. I understand that one position may be optimal for power and efficiency, but I find my feel begin to go numb (fall asleep) in the Shimano pedals. When this happens on the Speedplays, I move my feet around or start pedaling for a bit with my feet in a different spot and it seems to help more.
Thoughts?
Is it better to be locked in, or to be able to move around?
