I use Bebops with Shimano sandals. You haveto trim some rubber, but really no more than on a shoe.

I too use Bebops with Shimano sandals. Using a dremel tool you do need to cut away a cone shaped
area for the pedal spindle. The cleat is almost perfectly recessed in my size 45 sandals; you can
easily walk in the sandals...and they are very comfortable. Why are Bebops still so hard to find? I
know they had some legal difficulty with Frog patent infringement but, I thought that was settled.
IMHO, they are the pedal of choice!

I merely used one of those contractor's linoleum knife, or utility knife. Your way seems
like a more finished look would result. Did you use a sanding drum, or ? As for the rarity
of Bebops, there have been statements(unverifiable I think) that Speedplay/Frogs company is
using Microsoft tactics as applied to marketing. ie:"If you carry our pedals, you can't sell
Bebops." This is just what I heard. Power-On sells Bebops, and while ordering some other
stuff, I asked for a spare set of cleats, as that seems to me the part that will wear out
first from walking on them.

Ask the big Speedplay dealers why they no longer carry BeBops. There is a reason, and it has nothing
to do with BeBop quality, value or technical superiority. (I can't say any more than that, for fear
of a lawsuit from aggressive cycling products companies.)
