Hmmm....your cleats themselves shouldn't move much if at all when you clip in and out. Are you sure your cleats are fully tightened?
Cleats move when clipping out
I am new too Peloton and have noticed when I clip out, (which takes a lot of work) that my cleats move a little out of place, like on an angle. Is this normal because it we use force to clip out? Or is this unusual?
Any help appreciated!

They are as tight as I can get them. Maybe once I work in the shoes a little more this will be different.
You might try loosing the screw on the rear of each pedal. That will make it easier to clip out and not have the cleats change position.They are as tight as I can get them. Maybe once I work in the shoes a little more this will be different.
Did you ever get your problem resolved. Just curious because I’m having similar problems.I am new too Peloton and have noticed when I clip out, (which takes a lot of work) that my cleats move a little out of place, like on an angle.

Hi. It sounds like you need to loosen the tension on the pedals and just make sure the cleats are screwed tightly into the sole of your shoes.
I have done both and still having the same issues. I believe they are sending the bikes set up way too tight for the cleats to click in and out.Hi. It sounds like you need to loosen the tension on the pedals and just make sure the cleats are screwed tightly into the sole of your shoes.
Do you mean the actual cleat moves on the shoe or the cleat wiggles a little when you clip in and out? All cleats have what's called float. If you have your cleat to a high degree of float, then yes, it will feel like it's moving when you clip in and out. However, that does not mean that the cleat is actually loose from your shoe. If the cleat is actually moving on your shoe, there's probably something wrong with you cleat, shoe, or both if you've tightened it fully. The stock Peloton shoes have red Look Delta cleats, with 9 degrees of float, which is a lot.
No, I just can't click out now. My husband has a nother brand and his click in and out just fine. Wondering if I need to just buy new shoes.Do you mean the actual cleat moves on the shoe or the cleat wiggles a little when you clip in and out? All cleats have what's called float.

I am having the same issue. I have only had the bike for 3 weeks. I am a former endurance triathlete with years of experience with both speedplay and SPD. I cannot clip out and my cleat moves. The shoes seem like heaps of junk! I have never had trouble clipping out of any of my road bikes! Something is not right.I am new too Peloton and have noticed when I clip out, (which takes a lot of work) that my cleats move a little out of place, like on an angle.

Despite the uncomplicated design, Yeezy Slide has become a real hit and appeared on Instagram of many fashion bloggers. Among the stars, these flip-flops are especially loved by Kendall Jenner, Justin Bieber and Elsa Hosk. Most often, such slippers are worn with tracksuits or beach dresses, but they can be easily integrated into everyday urban images. For example, the Yeezy Slide can be worn with jeans and a top or a cardigan. Thus, you can purchase Yeezy slides using special platforms. Good luck in the search!
Same issue. Tightened the cleats as much as I can and have my pedals as loosened as I can. Still cleats moves every time I clip out.I am having the same issue. I have only had the bike for 3 weeks.

You have the cleats installed incorrectly. The washers are not installed correctly.Same issue. Tightened the cleats as much as I can and have my pedals as loosened as I can. Still cleats moves every time I clip out.
I’ve tried the washers both ways. Do you have a photo of the correct way to install the washers?You have the cleats installed incorrectly. The washers are not installed correctly.
There is a slight curve to the rectangular washer. the curve should be installed AWAY from the bottom of the shoe. Then re-install and tighten the bejezes out of each screw. If that simply doesn't work, get some BLUE Loctite. Not Red.I’ve tried the washers both ways. Do you have a photo of the correct way to install the washers?
Yup. That's how I have the washers set up now. Cranked down tightly, too.
Pedals are loosened as much as they can be.
I've owned cleats in the past but they were for a mountain bike and so the bottoms weren't as smooth and that may have helped keep each cleat in place. Never had a problem with them.
Not sure I want to use Blue loctite but might have to.
Seems like this is a design flaw of some sort. Not great since I have to adjust the cleats back to their proper position every time before I clip in or risk knee issues.
