I have Eggbeaters, Candy C's, and a pair of Mallets. I Don't use the Mallets, because I need to use spacers under the cleats to keep from getting hung in them. When I space my cleats out, and then ride one of the bikes with Eggs, I don't get a good solid feel. The Candy C's are okay, but I don't find clipping into them quite as easy as the Eggs, I haven't noticed any real benifit to the little platform around it. They are not good to ride on if you are not clipped in. Actually I have rode regular eggbeaters with cowboy boots on in a pinch. They seem to set right where the heel of the boot meets the sole, and the sole is stiff enough right there to not give a sore spot.
