you have to step in decently hard otherwise you might get only half the cleat in. It's dangerous to be clipped in half way only as you can accidentally pull out. You can tell if you're only half way in by rotating your foot. If it's smooth, then you are in, if you feel some resistance you are not.
that's about the only down side I could feel with them.
Otherwise I prefer these over crank brothers, speedplay frogs and shimano SPD.

IMO, best to worst for commuting purposes
Bebop
Shimano SPD, tie, crank brothers
speedplay frogs

here they are compared to crank brothers

This thread needs pics back!

also, i'm between the Bebop, Atac, Candy.

care to elaborate why you find the bebop so much better, please?

I also use the bike for city commute, so i plan to walk around with the shoes. Did you take that into account? anyone else can trhow their opinions on walking with the different cleats?
