Maybe the lugs on your current pair are interfering?
I still plan to test the two ideas. I invested the rare few hours early on in trying them and haven't had time to change my cleats back to the Eggs since. Pedals are easier to change. I plan to see if I have the gap problem the TS mentioned. But, yeah, it might be a shoe problem. But it might be opposite of the usual "too much lug" problem that requires use of the shim. I note that SPD doesn't seem to have this fussiness, but I like the lightness and ease of use of the Eggs so I'll try again when I can. Probably for next season at this point. I don't mean to slam these guys, only to be candid. If it proves my soles are too thin I'll be happy to change. However, I'd think they might want to add something to their FAQ about this. Still, it would be weird that nobody else has posted about thin-soles that I've seen. Yet the TS seemed to know about it. If it is the case I would've appreciated finding out back when I was fiddling and suffering and putting time in trying to sort em out.
