The tread of the shoe needs to compress a good bit against the surface area of the pedal for positive engagement. I guess things are wearing in a bit now.
Thanks. I am not sure why the other poster mentioned Crank Bros in a conversation about SPD cleats, I thought he was saying that they now make an SPD version.
Some of my pedals push harder against the shoe sole than other pedals. When I regularly use A530, M324 and Ritchey V4 Mountain pedals with various shoes including Pearl Izumi mountain, Keen Commuter 3, Keen Commuter 4, Keen Arroyo Pedal and Serfas mountain shoes, I have just about every possible combination of very sticky float to shoes that feel really loose in the pedal.
