I've actually found it easier getting into my Candy's than my Eggbeaters so far. I think the little platform on the Candy's helps me locate the wings that trap the cleat more easily (or something like that). I am more likely to miss the wings on the Eggbeaters... Sad, I know.
That said, I love 'em both!!
