You need to go through a careful setup procedure, which will inevitably require some degree of trial and error.

Also don’t expect to acquire superpower pedalling ability simply from being clipped in. You won’t go any faster, but you may or may not prefer the feel and consistency of being clipped into a fixed position. Floating cleats allow a bit more error on positioning and are certainly the best starting point.
