Grabbed the same shoes yesterday, still a little dirt in the cleats, jumped on the bike with the Wellgos and my right foot was pretty much in lockdown until a few forceful clickouts and clickins.
Mine are M424's. They work ok but damn near hit my garage this eve as the sand had "tightened" them up a bit. Beach sand is just gritty as all heck. Bang my feet sideways on pedal but a slow start in soft sand means get feet up quick!
