First off... if you are looking for peddals... get these first! I wish I had been given some education on the difference between these (Froggies too?) and the other type of peddal.
I think if I had, I wouldn't have the knee issues I have now.
I also would have saved myself around $180 on shoes on peddals I only used for 6 months (I will be selling both on eBay!).
If you don't know already... Speed Play peddals are circular and the cleat on the bottom of your shoe allows this circle to fit on it. It allows for you to move your feet right and left... thus not being locked into position on the peddal.
I also found it really EASY to CLIP OUT! Which is NICE for a newbie!
They do feel weird.... and I can't hardly walk on the shoe with the cleat on the bottom sticking out... but I suspect in due time I will fall in love with them.
Now, I just have to get over pushing off the ground with my foot so much! Can't really do that with these cleats!
