This is not a Look review, but in case you or other net.readers are
not aware, there are other "binding" type pedals and pedal-shoe systems
emerging which correct some of the things that the original Look pedals
have been faulted for. For example, Look is coming out with a new 
ultra-light pedal (the originals are pretty heavy, although this model
will be expensive), and Adidas has a shoe-pedal "system" with adjustable
cleats (the current Looks have the disadvantage of being non-adjustable
once the cleat has been positioned, and the cleat must be mounted by drilling
holes into your shoes). There are also some less expensive
but similar binding type pedals in the works. The most recent Velo-News
has an article covering these subjects. 

Anyway, it looks like the best thing to do is wait until you see some of
these new products emerge in 1986.
