Interesting that this got posted as I was just complaining about my cleats. I'm also using the Crankbrothers Candies and the one side that I always unclip is really loose. Found out, through a poster on Bike Forums, that Crankbrothers uses a softer metal on their cleats and they may tend to wear sooner than another brand.
<<egg beater cleats are made of brass which is softer than the pedals so the cleats wear preferentially rather than the pedals- they seem to be a lot softer than SPD cleats- I used egg beaters on a single mountain bike ride (with some carrying sections) and they looked a like something that fell to earth in a meteorite.>>

I don't know about all brands but for those of you on Speedplays, coffee covers are a GREAT investment! I wear Zero's and anytime I take a few minutes off the bike to walk to restroom or coffee shop etc I slip the covers on... you probably all know that already but thought it might be worth mentioning anyway!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
