I am new at this. With cleats on, does it lock the heel in place to keep from sliding or turning into the wheel?

Your cleats while engaged, are looking he ball of your foot in place, and the lateral movement is minimum, 6 degrees in total (less than 10 millimeters each side) The only way your heel will hit the week, is if you do it intentionally. On other hand, it does require time and practice to master coming in and out of your pedals. Nothing too bad, just one or two rides before you feel comfortable enough so you stop thinking on disengaging your cleats. It becomes second nature fairly easy.

With any cleat the position of your foot is fairly locked in, it takes some effort to turn your heel outward to disengage the cleat; your heel will never haphazardly move out of alignment, only moves if u intentional push it

The cleat is essentially in the middle of the shoe (the sole) so yes, it does lock your heel in place. It was a good purchase for me. Good luck..

Mine turns with the stiffness you want (so it doesn't slip easily) but it's not uncomfortably tight and moves freely when turned. Try working it a bit to see if it just needs the tightness worked out of it. Otherwise you may want to swap it if you think it hurts your ability to freely make adjustments.

Yes, that's correct. Curve on bottom, which lets the little padded part on the longer top comfortably secure your heel. Works great!

On the front of the wheel there is a tab that is used to lock the front wheels in place. This tab also helps stabilize the wheels. You can lock the wheels when your path is straight and smooth and unlock the wheels when turning or on rough terrain.

Yes. One side of the pedal accommodates the toe cage and the opposite side of the pedal accommodates a clip-in cleat. I brought the Spinning NXT pedals specifically for the cleat lock-in. I've had them for about a year and they have been excellent.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. You can turn middle moveable wheel counter-clockwise to tighten. There is a noticeable difference, when you fluctuate that wheel.

No it does not turn or lock. The break is on the back wheels and the front wheel is a fixed straight wheel. Which works for me and my son just walking around the neighborhood. I imagine it could be a little difficult in a city setting.

No, it only goes part way to the heel. But there's sliding soles on both shoes.

Short answer, "No." Longer answer, that's really more a function of the pedal and how you've adjusted it, than of the cleats themselves. I bought some cheap Wellgo commuter pedals whiich I use with these cleats, and was generally pleased, but had a couple of unwanted releases at the default setting, I tightened the pedal one turn, and am quite satisfied with the release tension. Your mileage may vary, but it's the pedal, not the cleat, that will define the release characteristics.

I lock tight. but when inverted my feet come off the footrest. Basically your ankles are holding you so you doing slide out. That allows the stretch of your complete legs and spine. Hope this helps. I have a pinched L5 and this relieves the pressure in my spine.

Mine has no heel cover either. I believe they are open to keep the weight down. I find it has a good balance to it though.

Kind of. They have a mechanism to lock, but it doesn't really do the trick too well. The wheels honestly aren't that great. One of mine broke clean off. It stays pretty immobile, but can shift if bumped hard enough.

No. These covers are for SPD-SL cleats. They are made of plastic and are the three bolt variety used on road shoes (no knobs). The ones stated in the question use metal mountain bike shoe cleats (two bolt). Typically that type of shoe will have raised knobs that surround the cleat, so when you walk in the shoes, the cleat will not rub against the ground.

Yes. The clamping mechanism, which mimics the quick release skewers on your front wheel, locks to the frame.

I attach it to my shoe laces during spinning. My ankle is larger than my wrist which is possibly not the case for most. But it registers that way.

No, the wheels do not lock :) However, there is very little padding in the seat (I am sitting on it right now). So the first thing you might want to make is a cushion :)

The mechanism for the front locking swivel wheels is between the wheels. I suppose you could use your toes if you have a very small foot but it's designed to be used by hand. It's easy to do and takes only a second. The braking mechanism is brakes for the left and right rear wheels located on the axle and used by foot. Again, easy to do.
