It's interesting that a couple of people are saying they use different foot positions on their flat pedals for climbing and descending. That's never occurred to me and I wonder if that speaks to an advantage for a flat-flat people for those riders since then the pedal doesn't influence where your foot sits?
Even the clip-in shoes that have very rearward cleat positions (Bontrager Rally is the one that always jumps to mind) don't come close to an arch-over foot position. You aren't going to move your cleats on a ride (Aenomaly SwitchCleat incoming?) so I guess you split the difference?
