SPD-SL shoe/cleat problem

That was my first thought....the cleat is tightly bolted to the shoe....the cleat does not move about...but i cannot remove my foot with an outward movement.......but comes out very easily and smoothly with a slight inside movement.....Is that ok....or is something very wrong?

I've read through this thread, and it sounds like the angle of the cleat was incorrect for your foot. It's likely that you when you put the cleat back on, you inadvertantly changed the angle of the cleat so that the back was pushed more towards the outside (or front towards the inside) a touch. I doubt it has anything to do with a burr or anything like that.

if you are duck footed, pigeon toed, or hens toothed, you have to account when angling the cleat under your foot.
