Loved my Speedplays. Had to change to Shimano because I wanted to wear my Keen commuter sandals all the time- for racing and just recreational riding (and the Speedplay doesn't work with the sole). I have liked them both. No complaints.

Which Speedplay pedals did you have? My Speedplay Frogs work with the same shoes I used for Shimano...

Another Frogs fan here. And I use them with my Keen Commuter sandals as well.

The Frogs are one of their mountain bike pedals, later this year they are coming out with another type but they are keeping the Frogs around. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

frogs
I bought the Speedplay Frogs today and had them installed.
They feel like my feet are going to pop off on their own, very slippery on the pedals.
I will spin around my neighborhood and practice taking them off and on before my next group ride.

That "floaty" feeling takes some getting used to, especially if you're coming from a Shimano-type of clip. Hope they work out for you!

Yes, the "floaty" feeling is from the increased float in the pedals - your ankles and knees have much more freedom than some other pedals and does take some adjustment. It didn't take me too long to adjust when I switched, and I've never accidentally unclipped.
When you clip in your second foot, you might want to pull up on the pedal to check that you clipped in completely. I remember when I first switched that I wasn't sure if that second foot was in all the way or not because there wasn't the "clunk" that I got from the SPD pedal. There was a couple of times that I hadn't at the beginning, but that's not happened for a long time. I hope you wind up enjoying your new pedals as much as I've come to!
