Well that's why every body buys LOOK- the big platform is more comfy over long hauls. But the same thing keeps coming up in any discussion of clipless 'mongst the ladies- a lot of us can't get out of them. I never had much trouble, but I have the same size feet as smaller guys and I spent years riding Mt bike pedal drills.
It's not just the pedal- the super stiffy road shoes are a lot of the power transfer you're getting. I found that I could sit at 27 mph on the flat (and I'm old and out of shape) in cross country racing shoes and mt pedals on a road racing bike. I was using Chilies, and they were super rigid in the sole. (Why did they stop making those?) And I can walk around when we stop for beer or gummi bears. I like my LOOKs, and I can get out of them- I just fall on my butt in the Kwicki Mart sliding on the cleats.
So every girl has to work this out for herself; I just wanted to put this info out there.
I bet you can adust the equipment or strengthen things to help get out of the pedal at the end of the day. Most of the other women can't get out at all, even at the start of the ride.
