HORRIBLE advice. There's sprinters who are 5'6" and wear a size 12 shoe. There's 6'2" sprinters who wear size 9 shoes. And the flipside. You DON'T measure you're feet. You measure the ANGLE your SHINS make perpendicular to the ground - 45 degrees. This ensures equal horizontal and vertical force.

while i agree that the stepping is pretty much correct i think that the angle is based on the athletes preference.

The balls of your feet should be firmly planted on the blocks

How's it working for you. If it works for you then you're in the right spot. It's all about the right angles for the best start. For beginners it's about finding a balance between comfort and tension.

Move your foot pegs back one slot each. There should be some weight on your hands but not enough to make them shake from tension. No weight on your hands means that you will stand up to soon and to much weight means that you stumble when go.

okay try twelve inches for the front of the base. If the back foot rest does not fit on the base plate move the base plate back another 6 inches.
