Some comment how short of a life span they get out of pedals. I get about 3000 miles out of these. The bottom bumper helps lengthen the life and it does not effect the riding characteristic using the Keo pedals.
Review by Samurai
I've been riding Look pedals for years, and the Keo since they were first introduced. This is my first set of grip replacement cleats, and I have to say I'm very pleased with them so far. I've not experienced any entryexit issues from the pedal. For me, they perform on par with the standared replacement cleat.
I've given the cleat 3 stars as I feel the price is a bit high and it remains to be seen how the cleat wears without the white inserts at the toe and heel. Also, I've never been very attentive to using cleat covers so I'm sure the rubber pads will get a good workout, too.

I'm pretty sold on the Look platform both in terms of power transfer and design and got a pair of the Keo grip cleats gray with a new pair of pedals. The rubber bits do the stuff they are supposed to easier walking off the bike, less slippage between cleat and shoe, BUT the problem is they also make entry much less distinct and I find myself fumbling with the pedal more just to find the right side. There is no distinct, reassuring 'snak' as with the standard cleat 'cause the rubber just absorbs it. Occasionally the rubber will squeak against the pedal body.
I find they are best reserved for winter use. In the rain I find the rubber grips actually useful on the street, the rubber also extends the life of the cleat and with an earband around my head I don't notice if they squeak a little. I have a pair mounted on a pair of Hydro GTX shoes and that keeps me pretty happy all winter long. But as soon as it stops raining here I'm right back to regular shoes and cleats. I do wish they were less expensive.

I bought these for a new pair of road shoes, but I've been using them since 2017. They provide good traction, clip in well and last a long time. I still haven't worn out my first pair. I even use these with Favero Assioma power meter pedals with no problems. I use the black cleats with zero float.

Have bough these clips for years. Wish they lasted longer and were cheaper do the job
Review by Robert
Nice upgrade from standard Look pedals as it is easier to walk. Less slippery on concrete compared to non-Grip cleats.

These do what they are supposed to do, that's about it. No issues at all. Just wish the bolts didn't strip so easily.

I love look pedals and the cleats with the rubber grip. Makes the coffee stop that much better when I don't have to worry as much about slipping on the tile

I've used KEO Grip cleats for many years and 4.5 degree float is my preference and keeps my knees safe. They are made of plastic and if you walk around on them they will wear out, but that's no reflection on Look quality. Great reliable product.

Light, easy inout, adjustable. Went for the Grip version after a short slide or two! Stayed upright but got a laugh out of my cycling buddies!

The grip pads are tough! I'm still using the original cleats that came with the pedals. The way these cleats are holding up, I may not put on the replacements until next year. Good stuff!

Look Keo cleats are lightweight and I have never had one break. But if you wear your cycling shoes to walk around when you stop (at food breaks during centuries) the cleats will experience wear from concrete abrasion (I did 17 centuries this year). If you are a high mileage biker like me (over 10,000 miles per year), you go through several sets of cleats per year.
Install tip - wash and dry the bottom of your bike shoe & cleat. Then take a pencil or marker and trace it around your old cleat before removal. Then remove old cleat and install new cleat in that tracing. Periodically check the screws on your cleat to ensure they are tight and also keep the cleat clean to avoid undo wear.
Another tip - use cleat covers when you walk around in your bike shoes.

The rubber pads make a real difference, especially when descending stairs.

I purchased a pair of the black (no play) cleats and I'm very happy with them. They seem to click in to the pedal easier and they appear to be stronger. Be careful though to understand the color system, the red replacement set, unlike the original red installed set, has 12 degrees of play. I did not know this when I purchased a set at the local bike shop and I was quite unhappy with them.

These are my favorite cleats, the rubber grip makes it much safer on concrete and slippery surfaces especially running in them in transition during a triathlon.

The new grey version of the cleats are great! So much easier to disengage from the pedals.
