Changing shoes is a price I would gladly pay. I expect I will have to at some future date.

I do everything from ride a fat bike in the snow and on the trails, to commute on a fixed gear, to some long rides on an endurance road bike. I run M520's on all of my bikes as well. I crashed twice not being able to clip out, and both times were on a mountain bike on a trail within the first month. After that, I crashed, but there wasn't a single time where I crashed and could not unclip. I have caught myself before as the bike goes down, and I manage to unclip and catch myself and stand right up completely uninjured and ego still intact.
Were I to do it all over again knowing what I know now, I'd probably go with this pedal. We'll see if I use the platforms at all over the winter and I might consider switching, after all its only $40.
