Sounds like the Gusset is not so Comfortable. Perhaps a looser pair of
knicks would help the attitude.

No they don't.

After you fall over, if the shoe underneath the bike is still clipped in, you
can't twist your heel to disengage.

Seen that happen plenty of times. Happened to me plenty of times....

I've never fallen over in the 7 odd years I've been using my SPD's. What
am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me, sounds like I'm missing out.

You must be riding too slow... :-P

When I think about it.. I don't remember tipping over
because I couldn't release my SPDs, but I do remember
doing it with clips/straps..

Comfort Gusset, stay off the cocaine. It's making you a bit aggressive.

I've converted from LOOKs to Shimano "LOOK-a-likes" SPD-SL. They use a
modified Look cleat that (in my experience) lasts a lot longer, but seems to
be the same in all other respects. The cleats are not interchangable.

I made the switch because I was breaking/wearing through a set of red cleats
every 3 months - and I was hardly walking on them.

Sounds similar to my experiences of about 6-12 months/pair. I actually do use them for triathlons, but only for the cycle leg (I realised you were joking...)

I'm starting with clippless pedals myself (just had a set installed
last weekend). There is little risk of going ass over when you stop,
its more that you stop and then tilt over untill you crash into the
ground.
