They're much better with power transfer if you lock-in the heel-in/out compared to the angular slop of the X.
Thanks! I've seen the walkables, but never had a problem with the Keep On Kovers staying on; though of course I still walk like a duck.
As to the release angles, I've always been curious about this. I've ridden X series since I started cycling -- they were just a choice at the time off the shelf availability at the bike store about 15 yrs ago. I find them fine; at the same time, thinking that if there is less "float" set, then that might mean I'd always accidentally keep releasing my foot from the pedal when I didn't intend to, only because I turned my foot just a little bit too far inadvertently. Is this the case?
