Are the walkable cleats any easier to get in and out of than the regular light action cleats? I put some of those Keep On Kovers on both our pedals... she claims they make it harder to clip in. I find that they have extended the life of my cleats dramatically (working on 9k miles on the current set) and they making walking much easier.

Progress! Honestly, you can theoretically tune the float angle but I think the X pedals were pretty awesome as is.

Aren't we all. :|
