If they are a problem is the key...unless you pronate or rotate excessively when you ride, coming out unintentionally should not be a problem. Mine (SPD's preferred and used on the street) are adjusted to minimum and as I am a fan of acronyms I use COP...Circles of Power when I ride. Cant imagine not using them especially in "friendly..hehe" competition.
