Shimano SPD-SL Replacement Cleats

It is shocking how many (cheaper) counterfeit shimano cleats are being sold. The counterfeits won�t last and can be dangerous even tho they may look ok. Check online, there are ways to spot phonies.

These are authentic� just what you�d expect from BTD. Consider the source!

I have tried the copies of the genuine Shimano cleats sold on some websites and have found they don't clip in or out smoothly and the money saved is not worth the poor performance. The genuine Shimano cleats always work as intended and the new packaging is both eco-friendly and easier to open.

It's a cleat. It keeps your shoes attached to your bike. Great value from Bike Tires Direct.

Been using these since their very beginning. They outwear most others and perform flawlessly. Not much else to add.

Always get these Shimano SPD-SL blue cleats. Work great, just enough flex in the float without too much.

I've used Shimano cleats since my first pair of specialty shoes. The colored plastic parts tend to wear out sooner than I'd like but that's neither here nor there. The reason I'm writing a review, though, is that Shimano is no longer using those nasty plastic clam packages. My purchase came in a recyclable paper box. It won't change the world or solve the world's problem with plastics, but it's a move in the right direction. Good on Shimano.

They work! Need I say more? Replace them when the black plastic wears stretch their life by using Shoe Goo or similar product to replace worn off yellow/blue/red rubber. It works.

Been using Shimano cleats and pedals for years and years. They work well and have never let me down. Got a good price at BTD and quick shipping

Cleats arrived on time and as described-workmanship quality is high.

Long lasting and great service from biketire staff

If it ain't broke... I only wish these lasted longer.

My standard cleat. Good durability usually get 10k miles out of them... and I clip out a lot which wears out the bottom (hangs head in shame for not being able to do a proper track stand).

I've been using Shimano sod cleats for over 20 years and they are. Second to none. I have them set up on both my road and triathlon shoes. I highly recommend them.

Chose blue cleats after many years of riding the stock yellow ones. Quicker and more confident click in out. Don't really notice the difference in flat, I guess my pedaling style is pretty consistent. These OEM Shimano cleats last forever, unless you walk all over the place on pavement with them on, which is foolish.

Just switched to Shimano Ultegra pedals after a few years on Look Keo pedals (which I stopped used because the metal plate had lost adhesion to the pedal body). I like the near-zero float of these cleats - feels secure. But the wear on the cleats from walking was much faster than what I experienced with the Look cleats. On both shoes, the outside cushion was gone in a week of riding, and further wear on the plastic under the cushion has resulted in a tilted walking surface and less grip. I know, who walks on road cleats? But it's different. Still, the grip to the pedal is good.

They work like they are supposed to work

You do not slip when walking! The cleats are easy in and out. But the best, when you stop and put your foot on the ground you do not slip. The yellow contact points, keep your foot from slipping.

Decided not to take away a star because one set of the cleats had a bad screw. That screw did cause me to have to get a threading tool and chase the threads in one of my shoes, very scary. Don't buy these till they go on sale, the price has doubled on them in the last couple of years. I also tried the cheap chinese knockoffs, they worked ok but they only last a few weeks and the colored knobs on the cleats fall off after a few days...

Used on a Giant TCR road bike. Provides easy in and easy out of the clips. Allows for good power deployment to the pedals.
