So they're working out well for me. I've never tried the Shimano's.
My husband rides the Zero's too and he loves them. The clearance is better on them than with the SPDs but my bianchi (still unnamed) which I use for commuting actually came with SPD style pedals so I stuck with them.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. I'm hurting more today than I did the first two days. I guess it took time to catch up with me. Because of that I've taken the day off. What really sucks is there's *no* truly comfortable position. Laying down hurts, sitting hurts, standing hurts, etc. :/

Sitting on a chair with nice back support hurts less which is what I'm doing now. I've gotten maybe 5 or 6 hours of sleep but I couldn't deal with it hurting any more, especially since my husband tends to toss and turn... which means he jostles me and it hurts.

*sigh*

I'll be ok that I know. It just hurts at the moment. Plus I want to get back on the bike.
