People seem to be too worried about possibly not getting their feet off the pedals when they have to, but it's really easy to release the toe strap buckles with a quick flip of the wrist which becomes instinctive when stopping.
I remeber that it only took me one ride to get used to them.
Younger riders would never have had to...! I loved my Sarroni, then my Lake cleated shoes (cannot believe I cannot find them anywhere). Nylon slotted cleats with zero float!
