You probably don't have them adjusted tight enough. The shoes should lightly drag when they are adjusted properly. You spin the wheel in the forward direction of road travel by hand while tightening the adjuster until the wheel becomes hard to turn. It'll just about lock up suddenly. Then you back off the adjuster a few notches to get a light drag.

These are big brakes. They stop quite well when they are operating correctly.
