switching from Shimano SPD to ?

I guess I am the complete reverse - I've been riding with Frogs for about 7 years, love them.

I started doing spin class back in Oct, and have gone 2x week from Oct through the end of May, using SPDs. And after 8 months I STILL can't clip out on those things. If I ever got on a real bike with those pedals I'd have fallen every time.

They look to be identical, but I'm starting to wonder if the cleats on my spin shoes are reversed L/R because I can unclip not by turning my heel outward, but can if I turn my heels inward.

I wonder if your cleats are turned out slightly on your shoes? That would make it harder to unclip to the outside, but easier to unclip to the inside. AFAIK, there's no L or R to SPDs the way that there is with Speedplays.

That's an idea, I'll take a look and see if they look askew at all. But I won't be back at spin class till Sept so won't be able to try anything out till then.

Speedplay Light Action. Very easy to get in and out of, double sided, comfortable amount of float.

Or Frogs, if you think you want a recessed cleat (and mountain bike shoe).
