new clipless pedals - frustrated (speedplay zero)

[SadieKate]

I was initially going to go with Keo Pedals (look style), but according to LBS, they've had problems with the cleats fitting on shoes under size 40 properly (I have Bontrager RL Road WSD in 38.5). They suggested the speedplays.

Huh.

I wear size 38 Sidi Genius and don't have a problem.

And I've used Looks forever and a day when the pedal and cleat were larger.

skyler, you have the tension adjusted as loosely as possible on the problem foot? If you only began cycling 3 weeks ago and you're this far along with clipless pedals, give yourself a break. It takes practice to make it a habit to clip in easily on both sides without looking.
