Like I said, whatever works.
I'm sure if Look were the (relatively) new kid on the block they'd have kooky propaganda too.

So far nobody is explaining why the Speedplays didn't work for them. They have worked for me for over ten years. And since Speedplay has been around for well over a decade (my guess is closer to two at this point) they're not exactly a 'new' company. My guess is their hype is just like all other company product hype - typical.
By the way, everybody I know who rides Speedplays sort of swears by them. I do. There's plenty of them in the local peloton.
