Some adjustments are not available in certain pedals. For instance you can buy an "advanced cleat" for crank brothers that effectively allows you to change the Q-Factor on the shoe. Not all pedals allow for such lateral adjustments.
Sorry for the newb question but what is Q-factor. I am still playing with my M520s and so far no pain. I do however have a hard time getting my left shoe to pop out. I am trying to make some adjustments to make this easier
