Are you a new rider? Do you regularly need to put your foot down through fear of falling? if so then maybe your not ready for cleats. If not then yes i think you should give them a go.

I started out with Shimano but was struggling to unclip without great effort, which increased my anxiety levels as I was also riding a drop-bar roadie for the first time...nothing like a steep learning curve![]()
Go for it I'd be surprised if you didn't have a clip-stack at some point...follow the advice about rolling and chalk it up to experience! Happens to most of us
