I find they may help with efficiency.
They do help keep the feet on the pedals on them bumpy spots.
I now clip in pretty quick and out easy too.

They make me feel pigeon toed.
Several tries with and with out, they cost me 1 MPH.
As far as comfort goes, not impressed, but think the MTB with a wider stance would help.
But don't want em on the MTB, got no issues with feet leaving pedals unless I want them to.

The ONLY reason I got them was every body said so, and,, and,, cuz my feet won't stay on the pedals on the skinny tire road thing, so thats why I put em on it. I am thinking about them Pedal extenders......

You need to experiment with the position of the cleat on the bottom of the shoe. It can be rotated left or right to put yuor foot pointing in a natural direction for you.
