If you find in a week or 2 they are just not working for you upgrade. I bought a secondhand pair of time pedals and shoes to make the transition and though I liked the pedaling action the clipping in and out was a hassle. I invested $200 in SPD pedals and new shoes and couldn't believe the difference. Once when I stopped and forgot to clip out I panicked and in the process, clipped out before I fell over. The guy in the shop had set the release pressure very low thankfully.

I have since converted all my bikes to SPD and even have a new set spare as an ornament
The pedals are ridiculously cheep if you shop around.
