Cleat function isn't only about pedaling efficiency but safety too. This is but one reason your LBS won't try to repair old cleats. Unexpected pre release can have bad results and no release is really a bad thing. Andy. (who years ago before he knew better ran deep track cleats and Binda Extra straps pulled tight all the time. And has the scars to prove it).
