Do they work ok and what about long-term (I’m thinking about wear from the pedal bars on the exposed aluminium plate on the bottom of the shoe? I’ve been using Time for at least twelve years, so not keen to swap now.

I really like my Pivots, but I’ve cracked the metal base plate on both shoes in about 8 months. It was causing issues clipping in, so I cut the metal away, just leaving the plastic underneath. Still works fine, but I can feel the pedal a bit more than I’d like now.

I use Shimano pedals so I don’t know what would happen with Time, but I’d not describe the metal soles as durable.
