Plus, my knee isn't sore after riding this morning, so that's a positive sign. Only downside is they're not nearly as walkable as SPD pedals. Scrape, scrape, scrape, everywhere I go. I suspect the cleats will wear out quickly.
I kept a pair of shoes going with Frogs for about 4 years after this scraping started. Put some Shoe Goo on the shoes around the cleat. You'll have to clean the shoes off before applying the Goo, and let them dry the recommended 48 hours, and re-apply as needed (about every 3 months for me). OTOH, Shoe Goo is about $8 a tube, and new Sidis were $200, now $250 a pair.
