Kinda strange about your other comment seeing as Frogs have something like 35 or 37 degrees of float (rotation BEFORE your shoe can be unclipped) as opposed to a standard SPD mtn bike pedal of maybe 5 degrees.
The only thing I will say about frogs is that when you are clipping in it is not a positive clip in. You place the shoe on the pedal correctly and it's in, no snap, no nothing, just in. I like to feel a snap in so I know I'm clipped in for sure. That said, they are great and I like the float.
FWIW - The issue is that most all road systems are set up in such a way that you come against spring tension before disengagement. With frog you do not. One second you are clipped in....the next you are not. This is not caused by a worn cleat - rather it is the nature of the design.
