Under most circumstances knees and feet should be in-line, meaning toes and patella should point in the same direction.
By minimizing pronation (outward rotation) and supination (inward rotation) we can also minimize muscle imbalances.
Again, that is under most circumstances.

Hello, Karen!
The best way to work with clients - is to monitor kinetic chain checkpoints.What is checkpoints? It is observation every minute the feet, knees,lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, shoulders and head.For example,Karen,your clients would like to perform cardiorespiratory activity.What you have to watch? Only foot and knee alignment? - No! You have to monitor rounded shoulder your client, or forward head posture, watch for elevated and protracted shoulders and extended cervical spine.Yes, you have to mention for yourself that your clients have feet turn out or knees move inward,but this have to come in complex observation, not only observation your clients feet and knee.

we would need to know what position and plane of body you're referring to like Susan, said. Although, this is a link for a downloadable Overhead Squats Solution from NASM: http://www.nasm.org/docs/pdf/nasm_overhead_squat_solutions_table_cptpes%...
You can download others on their website too:

Hello Karen,
I ask the same question as Susan and Ferris. Also, everyone has a different alignment for personal reasons. The general guidelines are a good source; but, there is always the exception. That is where the detailed consultation and working with the doctors comes into play.
Take care.

For most movements, you want the knees to follow in line with your big toes. Knees and toes should point in the same direction.

Hi Karen...
I don't think that there is every really a time when you would not want to have your feet in a neutral position. You can check on this easily enough with a couple of quick assessments.
Visual assessment: From a posterior view, if you can see if the big toe, then you have a foot that is pronating.
From a sagittal view, look for a fallen navicular and a flat medial arch
Movement assessment: Single leg squat test. Place the foot in neutral and watch for a valgus knee collapse.
*side note--if the knee collapse's, yet the foot remains in neutral then the problem is likely in your hip
hope this helps,
Jeremy
