Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Sets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are the only cleats I have owned, so I don't have anything to compare them to, BUT I have had them for 3 years. I have not replaced them. I bought them as a beginner cyclist and have used them since. My cleats are a bit worn, but they still work just fine. I've probably ridden 3000 miles on these cleats, and competed in 14 triathlons in these cleats (which involves walking/running in them). So, my cleats have taken quite a beating and are still working just fine. Yes, other cleats may be easier to walk in and may hold up better, but they may not be the best cleats for riding on the road. SPD cleats are not the best road cleat nor are they easy to walk in on slippery surfaces. I like the SPD-SL cleats because they have rubber parts that stick out and contact the ground when you walk. They aren't the easiest to walk in, but if you want to walk in your bike shoes, you might consider MTB shoes instead. Personally, I ride my bike in my bike shoes and occasionally have to walk in them a few feet. I have the floating cleats, but they also come in a fixed version which are red, instead of yellow. The only downside to these cleats is that they are a tad hard to unclip. Even with the tension as loose as it will go, I find it a bit tough, but I'm now used to it and don't give it a second thought when I unclip. Sometimes they can be a bit hard to clip into, but I think that is more user error than the cleats themselves. ;) Overall, I would highly recommend these cleats and pedals for road riding.
