Okay, DH put on my pedals two days ago, and he knew it was going to be trouble. I practiced with one foot clipped in around my neighborhood for a few minutes. Then I got going with two clipped in. Unclipped my right, as that's my "chocolate foot". Couldn't get my left unclipped, leaned left and fell. Had to use one of DD's princess bandaids.
After that, he took the pedals off and put the stock ones off, basically forbidding me to use the clipless pedals on any rides for fear that I might get killed or hurt because I can't stop fast and get off the bike if I need to. I sort of agree. How the heck do I change all of this? I can't really practice without the pedals on, and I don't think I'm strong enough to change them out myself (I think they have lock-tite on them). He insists that they're only for "professional" riders.
I have shimano m520 (think those are the numbers). I think they're adjustable, so maybe they were just too tightly clipped?
ETA: I've thought about returning them to the LBS, but I scratched up one of the pedals when I fell. They'd take back the shoes because they were clearance which means someone had already taken them for a spin.
