Description
Even Easier Engagement
The Shimano CL-MT001 SPD Cleat is designed for a wide range of riders including modern trail and enduro racers to everyday commuters to new riders learning to clip in and out. These cleats provide multi-directional entry for easier engagement. With their unique design, riders have three distinct clip-in options: traditional front first then rear, rear first then front, or simply stomp straight down. Now it's easy to quickly get into your pedals no matter the situation.
Features:
- Multiple Entry Options: Cleats provide three clip-in options: traditional front first then rear, rear first then front, or stomp straight down
- Secure Engagement: Deliver four degrees of float, assuring just the right amount of movement while also providing secure pedal engagement
- Improved Walkability: Thinner, tapered cleat design makes it easier—and quieter—when off the bike walking around
- Built to Last: Made from heat treated forged steel that delivers durable long lasting performance even under severe riding conditions
- Complementary: Engineered to work seamlessly with SHIMANO SPD pedals for greater control and stability

Reviews
I purchased these with high expectations - thought they were a step up from the multi exit SH-56 cleats. Glad I tried them out before my Arizona trip.
I am not quite sure what Shimano tried to accomplish with these cleats - they work but for me not as well as the SH-56. As soon as I put them on I went back to the SM-SH56. I did not feel I could get out of them as quickly and easily as I liked for mountain biking. Maybe for gravel biking they are ok, but so are the SM-SH56. I still prefer SPD over platform pedals and the SM-SH56 in the lowest retention setting are a good compromise for me.
There is minimal difference between the standard SH-51 and the new CL-MT001. The CL-MT001 has a curved front and is a hairline narrower, but I noticed no improvements for walkability or clipping in that Shimano claims. It is a scam to sell you new cleats. Beyond freshening up your cleats, I wouldn't recommend.
Needing new cleats, i figured I'd try the upgraded version. Hard to explain, but they feel more solid - def a more pronounced click when pressing down - but that's likely based on me forgetting what new vs worn cleats feel like
Float is good, and unclipping is a breeze
