I dunno, perhaps I wore the cleat off a bit, and it will get hard again once I change them? I have the regular ones, not KEO.
You can always walk a few yards on pavement with the new cleats to rough them up a little bit and make them a little easier. I think the regular Looks take the Delta cleat, which ought to be basically the same as the Keos, just slightly different shape. The red ones are the loosest, and a little pavement time really seemed to help for getting out. (Though more float means you have to swing out farther..maybe that's what bothered your knees ?)
