Float is the amount of rotation the cleat/pedal allows your foot to achieve as opposed to a rigid fixed position. I think the average is about 6 or 7 degrees.

So as I am understanding this, a 0 degree cleat would be a fixed position on the pedal?

If she's new, get her the grey cleats, +/-4.5 degrees float.
