Anyone got any good techniques for determining the correct cleat angle for someone?

With all the cleats I've used, it doesn't really matter as long as you don't run out of float.

I normally just pedal a bit in and out of the saddle and whilst checking that I have about the same extra float in either direction.

You could probably stick something malleable like plasticine to the base of the shoe and see how far it gets pushed aside on either side.

I read somewhere that sitting on a high surface like a table and letting your feet dangle, relaxed, with you knees about as far apart as they would be while riding is a good way of getting an idea of what way your feet like to align. It's always a protracted trial and error process for me though...
