I know I had bruises on my left calf for a little while, learning how to clip into them, but that didnt bother me. Either than that, they were great.
Just thought I'd clarify:

I can see this being a problem with the original Eggbeater pedal that is a tidy little metal frame with no platform around them. The Quattro (and the Candy) has a generous platform around that little metal frame, so a missed clip just means your foot is on the pedal surface, not sliding off of it. I am a spaz enough that I miss the clip in once in awhile on either of these pedals, but I usually don't end up with the dreaded big hit on the back of the leg....those hurt!
