Though, for maximum efficiency you want to use the shoes you fit them with but they still work pretty well with my other shoes.
I really had trouble getting my left foot in a good position on med-long rides. As a result I developed some knee problems. When I switched back to cleats where I could fix my foot position, the pain gradually went away. There a nice concept......but I had trouble dialing in the right spot......believe me I tried them for about 300 miles, before I realized that they were causing my knee pain.
