Have got my first pair of clipless pedals and shoes(Look Delta £12 FROM eBAY & New Wave shoes £30 down from £70) , well impressed, but have read in 220 that incorrect aligned cleats are a sure thing for injury.
Is it just a case of adjusting them until they "Feel" right or is there a more scientific way?

I was told to sit on something so my feet would dangle, the natural way they feel, (inside for me as i pronate quite badly) should be the way you set your bike up.
I think most will tell you this but get a proper fitting and if you are having physio through your knee injury get your physio to take a look, its what theyre paid for.
They should point straight, unless your feet twist naturally (test by sitting on a table with your feet dangling, you want your cleats to basically be straight from there
The middle of the cleat (usually marked by a line on the side of it) should be on the ball of you foot
Should be in the middle of your shoe
But as above, a proper fitting will find any changes you need to make from the above
great question, and one that i too would like to have answered!
Your body being in discomfort is its way of telling you something is not right
Obviously changed them since!
