My Profile 		they do make a real difference, in my opinion, but if you are off to the shops a lot, or nipping round the corner to play on the swings, the shoes are a pain.

Have you considered toe straps instead?

they will give you some (not all) of the benefit of a fixed shoe, but with your normal shoes.

Probably only about a fiver too.

My Profile
I bought my first set of SPD's about 2 mths ago. A friend said they will take about 2-3 weeks before I fully appreciate them, how right he was, I hated them ay first and thought I had wasted £75 (shoes,cleats and pedals), but now I love them and if you go up plenty of hills they are a must.
I have fell off once, luckily I was stationary.
Pamila,go on girl, you know you want to, you wont regret it.
