from biketiresdirect.com
I've had the cheaper brands before, but they wear out quickly and
do not perform like Shimano's.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/28/2020by AnonymousCycling Enthusiastsanta clara ca1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Protect your cleatsNot much to say about the cleats. If you have Shimano pedals, you'll use these. I use yellow because the blue, with less lateral movement, hurt my knees. Some folks says these cleats wear too fast. No so, if you use Kool Kover Cleat Covers, which Bike Tires Direct carry. In short, avoid walking on these cleats without covers. With covers, they last a long time.

Review by mdonald9Reviewed 4/6/2015by mdonald9Cycling EnthusiastEdmonds WA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.No complaints, well one.It's hard reviewing the cleat without reviewing the pedal since one is integral to the other. I've tried Look and Speedplay and like Shimano SPD-SL the best. I needed a cleat with minimal float and predictable clipping in. Speedplay, even the Zero, had too much float for me although they were a breeze to clip into. Look was okay for float, but the bearing quality andor tension was not good and they would not consistently hang for easy clipping in. The Shimano SPD-SL Dura Ace pedal has great bearings (which are replaceable) and a metal wear plate over the axle (also replaceable). The color of the cleat corresponds to the float- I use blue. Clipping in is not a problem. The only trouble I've had is knocking off the little contact points at the rear of the cleat. They stick out and can easily get caught on an edge although I've not had this happen since using cleat covers and even if it does happen, the cleat is still useable, only less protected from wear with walking.

Review by OaklandMarkReviewed 4/23/2020by OaklandMarkCycling EnthusiastOakland, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.My favorite cleatI like the Shimano SPD-SL cleat & pedal because they give me a large platform reducing hotspots, are easy and reliable to clip in to and out of, and look good to boot. The yellow cleat is my preference, as I like to have some float for comfort. They last a pretty long time, especially if you are conscientious and don't go traipsing around on pavement and gravel. If you do these latter, the yellow base will wear off rather quickly, and then the cleats have too much vertical play for my liking, but remain usable.
If you are using Sidi shoes, make sure to also get the 10mm bolts as the stock bolts are too short.

Nice to know you can maintain a product without having to buy a new system each time an item needs replacing.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/27/2019by Anonymousportland, ORExcellent for Shimano road pedalsIf 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/20/2019by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastEast Bay CAThey are replacement cleats.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.

Easy inout and very reliable. When replacing them make sure to torque them down properly or they can squeak.
