Yes, I think it is that. The eggbeater float so easily, so it might be that my flimsy anckles are letting my heels move while I skid. The shimanos do not float so easy -> no unclips so far.
I had some very interesting situations with eggbeaters running steep downhills and trying to reduce speed....
skip...skip...skid...UNCLIP... Holy F!!! -> no egg beater in a fixed gear for me, thank you.
