So just FYI for anyone else out there.

I road about .5 mile and the shoes are super comfortable so far. I cant wait to put some real miles on them this weekend.

On another note, how do you keep your bindings to stay in the upright position so you dont have to keep spinning them with your foot to get them up. They are heavy so they want to be on the bottom side of the pedal all the time. With my new shoes being white I dont want to scuff up my toe of my shoe when i clip/unclip at stop lights when I bike to work.

Is there any way to make them stay stationary so they are always on the top of the pedal so I can just clip in and go?
I would suggest going to 2-sided SPD's. One of the best values would be the Shimano PD-M520, which should be obtainable for $30-$40 .
