I prefer the reds

I prefer the red to the yellow cleats. They may take a little more effort to engage, but I'm getting used to it and I feel more confident disengaging since there is less room for play (when pedal settings are equal). Seems expensive for what you get, but what are you gonna do?

Thank you for your feedback.

Good cleat

I have ridden this cleat for over 10 years. I like the yellow as it has the most play. Easy in and out. Good power transfer.

Thank you for your feedback.

A little pricey, but good product

These are great. I usually need to replace these once a season, but im pretty hard on them. I like the yellow ones and the amount of float they have. Also its nice that shimano makes spacershims for these (for those of us with slightly different leg lengths...). I do wish they were a little cheaper, but i wish that about most bike related stuff.

Thank you for your feedback.

Red Cleats are good cleats

I slap a new set of Shimano red cleats on my shoes every year or so. Haven't popped out yet. I learned to ride with no float and still like it that way, so red cleats it is for me. They benefit from a bit of bees wax rubbed on them occasionally, it makes them engage more easily. I've never worn out a set riding, but walking around in gravel or whatever does them in over time.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano quality

Not much to review here. Shimano makes quality products, what else can I say. Replacement cleats are no exception, one knows what to expect.

Thank you for your feedback.

Reliable

These shimano cleats are durable and solid on my dura ace pedals. The perfect complement to my broad based pedals. Bo complaints.

The best tire

Replace your cleats every 2500 or so miles before one breaks, it can be very dangerous and inconvenient. Pay double at the bike shop or add them to your tire order, get free shipping, and save a lot.

Thank you for your feedback.

Yellow float always works best for comfortable pedaling.

These are always my "go to" cleat. No issues. Easy to install and adjust. Works perfect with any SPD-SL pedal. Highly recommend.

Yellow best

The Shimano SPD-SL cleats are ideally suited for cyclists at all levels. They provide maximum float without sacrificing power transfer. Also, they are extremely durable as long as you don't walk down stone pathways on a frequent basis. They are a fine investment.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano SPD-SL cleats

I buy the blue cleats and they are perfect. The tension is adjustable, and the function is well thought out. I have yet to use a cleat that I liked better. Just top notch. it's a 6 star cleat.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great cleat, especially on sale, bought many pairs

Great cleat and fairly long lasting. I change out every 1,000 to 1,500 miles because I end up walking around in these cleats and the yellow bits will get ragged. I have come out of these cleats stomping on the pedals, out of the saddle, when going through a corner. So I may try the lesser float cleats, though I've been through many pairs of these cleats with just a couple of incidents.

Thank you for your feedback.

Don't buy those cheap knock offs

These are the real thing, I purchased Amazon knock offs and had annoying squeaking issues. The knock off cleats are not a good fit to the pedal

Thank you for your feedback.

Newbie on clipless

These have treated me with some mercy! I'm a newbie on clipless pedals and I have to say it's been a very comfortable experience clipping in and out with these given the amount of float they have.

Thank you for your feedback.

The brand name cleats always work great and last longer. Now with the supply chain issues over, the cost is much better!
