Hi SadieKate,

I am a size 6 shoe also (38.5 Sidi shoe) What I meant about the toe section for the Keos being smaller, it's just less bulky than the old Looks. Once your foot is in the pedal, it feels very solid.

Thanks for the info on the Eggbeaters. My plan is to use my old bike (Bianchi with periodic carbon upgrades) for rides I might not want to take my new bike on (dare I say, a Colnago!!) - rides like the Rosarito Beach to Ensenada ride where they throw your bikes into carts behind the shuttle busses to get you to the start (or from the end, depending on where you stay). It's a fun ride - big hill, El Tigre, in the middle and very hot and dusty; about 10,000 riders. I had to walk part of the hill last year, and with each step I was sliding back down on my Look cleats. I was envying those people with mtn. bike pedals. By the same token, my new bike has great gearing for hills
(compact), so I probably would not have to walk, ha ha, we'll see!!
