Called Speedplay today. Yes, they seem to be very nice people and eager to help. I described the installation and they said everything seems to be in order from what I told them. They checked the shoe model (Chainlove special, the Northwave Aerator V3 Boonen) and it appears they are compatible with the cleats. They told me lubricating is definitely a good idea, and encouraged me to give myself a few days to get use to them. So, that's what I will do and see what happens.

you really need to use a dry lube with speedplay pedals. i use "tdl" purchased at home depot for less than $5. i have talked with the people at speedplay and this is the lube that they all use. it is recommended that you use the lube before every ride. i was amased in the difference in pedal performance using "tdl" i.e. easy in and out. i have over 6000 miles on my cleats and they are still functioning perfectly i.e. i use tdl before every ride.
