did you buy the cleat covers? Buy the cleat covers before you:
1. Slip on a tile floor at the next starbucks and then have to explain how your "bike related injury" involved hot latte in your face.
2. Wear the cleats down after walking on them for a week, then post a "pcad hates KKKEO's" thread

Cleat covers are for Fred. Pcad does not walk on his cleats, he rides is bicycle in them, and he does perfect track stands at the very rare red light or STOP signs he does not poach. Dabbing is for wussie. Pcad also does not keel over in clipless pedals, never has and never will, unlike the uncounted minions here who seem so baffled by this incredibly simple act of coordination acumen.

Infidel.
And the answer is new shoes, not new pedals. www.rocket7.com
Let us know the first time you pull out of your KEO's in a sprint due to worn cleats.

You'll go back to Speedplay's. I switched from Keo's to Speedplay and won't be looking back anytime soon. Couldn't stand how fast the cleats wore out and how dangerous they were to walk in. Yes I had cleat covers but you shouldn't have to always use them.
I also have much, much more float with my Speedplays and it's helped my knees quite a bit.

One thing I've learned about cycling gear/position and physical issues - they vary so much between individuals that all these people saying 'it's the shoes' make me laugh. The proof is in the riding.

Must be why these guys, and this team is suffering so much.
Been on Looks since they were invented. Attached to Sidis until Cannondale started giving me Diadoras to ride in.

Having said that, I think you'll like the Keo's, bad knee and all. I have bad feet/ankles and thought that the red 9 degree cleats would be the way to go but I've found the gray 4.5's to be more than enough. Good luck with the new pedals.
