I start with my left foot in first, don't know if that makes a huge difference. My right foot is the big trouble but I'll keep practicing. I got a good deal on them on craigslist so I didn't want to pass them up since I saw them as a recommended pedal for first time clipless pedal.

In regards to the falling, I'm really not concerned about it. I worry about everything so I stay pretty aware I have to unclip before I come to a stop.

And good lord, that's quite the ad for a facebook related link.
