Damn.....something told me this was a problem that was going to require
spending money to fix. Are the shoes you got still available? I really
don't see any other solution than what you suggest as there is nothing
else
that I can think of that will make this problem go away. I wouldn't mind
having a larger platform those, since I find myself something riding
unclipped - like starting off into an intersection, etc. How do the Look
pedals compare to the SPDs in terms of clipping in/out and float?

No, those shoes were on close-out. But, really, all you need is a
stiff-soled shoe. No flex.
My Look pedals with the red platform have 9 degrees of float. Some people
also like the Frogs for lots of float. I also got some rubber "booties" for
the cleats and I put the rubbers on when I want to walk in the shoes. These
red cleats may get slippery feeling when walking. Ask as many people as you
can to see what their experiences have been. I am not saying Look is the
only way to go. Shimano has come out with an imitation of the Look pedal
that is rapidly gaining fans. I recently bought some Wellgo pedals for $34
that are a knock-off of the Looks, and I am interested to see how they
perform. I know that burning feeling, though. It can drive you crazy!
