What I find interesting is how the feeling has changed with new shoes.

I picked up some Shimano sandals and added the extra pair of cleats to them. These cleats are the original ones that came with my bike. Because the sandals don't hug the whole foot and aren't as rigid, it's actually more difficult to get out of them than my previous shoes.

So, even when you've been using clipless for a while, something can come by and go "oops. time to get used to 'em again"
