ShimanoSPD-SL Replacement Cleats(Return to Product Page)

Tip top shape. Have tried some of the aftermarket cleats and had tips break off - these are original Shimano, and the best.

Been using these for years and they've always been solid.

If you have Shimano road pedals then these are the cleats to use. Easy to install. Quick engagement. Only downside is that they're not durable for walking, like at rest stops during rides.

Easy to secure to the sole of the cycling shoe. I have never had issues with these breaking, just normal wear and tear.

Picked up two sets on a great sale. They are really nice when new, but do degrade in time. Depends on how much you walk around in them will determine their live expectancy. I go through a couple a year or when the rubber is worn out.

As far as I am concerned these are the gold standard pedal system. Easy inout and very reliable. When replacing them make sure to torque them down properly or they can squeak.

They are cleats. They are Shimano SPD SL replacement cleats. They work. They last a summer season unless you walk around a lot on them. Nuff said.

I ride 100miwk in rolling hills. These are easy to get in and out of and are very secure. Upon replacing them I didn't get them tight enough so the squeaked. Once I retightened them the squeak went away.

My favorite pedal system. I use this cleat and the blue one with less float.

Riding the new wider Shimano SPD-SL shoes and the great cleats - won't ride anything else.

Love these cleats! Ive never had any issies with them!

Blue cleats purchased for a slight float and they delivered as expected!

Been using the red-0 float cleats. Wanted more freedom of movement, but not up to the yellow 6 degrees. These fit the bill. Just enough freedom to re-position. Love em!

Pros Secure grip on the pedals, excellent energy transfer. Cons It is very difficult to kick out of new Ultegra road pedals with new yellow cleats. I have the pedals on the lightest setting and repeatedly work on clicking in and out. However, I really need to concentrate on a technique that works and plan ahead when I'm going to kick out, because of the tight release. I've ridden about 300 miles on these pedals and the yellow SPD-SL cleats to date. I've lubed the contact areas on the pedals and pivot point, and have even worked the pivot action of the pedals thousands of times using soft jawed vice grips. My next option is to try blue SPD-SL cleats because they have less rotation, which should help with kick out. The most consistent kick out technique I have found with these cleats is to firmly press the front of the cleat forward against the front of the pedal prior to rotating the heal outward.

I've used shimano pedalscleats for 30 years. These have just the right amount of float. Tried other pedalscleat brands with free float as well as no float, and these are perfect. I like the solid support you feel with each pedal stroke. Granted, these cleats have to be replaced with excessive wear, but that's because we all know that we walk on our cleated shoes on pavement. Still worth it.

If you have SPD pedals and want some free float, this is the only cleat for me. I've been riding these ever since I switched to SPD pedals 4 or 5 years ago. I used to ride a LookKeo-style pedal but the cleat would often get caught in the pedal at the wrong spot versus sliding right in. Not good if you need a reliable clip in. I've not had a mis-clip with this style of cleat. I can also recover from the occasional landing on the wrong side of the pedal (it happens).

I prefer red over blue and yellow. Long lasting.

It's. A cleat. Not much that can go wrong here.

Great Cleats,. when walking you do not slip

Great product, item as described and came in a timely manner
