Look pedals are designed to hang so that you can slide your foot right into them, toe first. There's a learning curve with any new retention system, but the only time you need to take action to orient the pedal is when you miss on the first try and send it spinning. Once you get used to them, that doesn't happen often.

I like Look for the range of adjustment of cleat position and the large platform. They also offer three different levels of float (0°, 4.5° or 9°) by choosing different cleats.
