SHIMANO Cleats SPD-SL SM-SH10/SM-SH12

Great

These slip in and out of pedals so smoothly. Its nice to be able to just slide my foot over the pedal and clip in. They are definitely not for walking! Even the most incidental ground contact (like stop lights) wears the rubber feet out quickly.

Was expected

I used two bolt mountain cleats for years. Decided to switch to these three bolt cleats because of hot spots which also meant buying new shoes and pedals. Expensive! Overall, I’m glad I made the switch because the 3 bolt system is much more comfortable when riding. However, there are trade-offs. The 2 bolt cleats are really forgiving of mud and ice; the 3 bolt cleats are not. The 2 bolt cleats are pretty easy to walk in; the 3 bolt cleats are awful to walk in. You definitely need the cleat covers because 1) they make it possible to walk, and 2) they slow down the wear…and wear they will. I went through 2 sets of these in 3 months before I found the covers! These are plastic while the 2 bolt system is metal. So, on the bike these are nearly perfect, but walking, weather, and wear may drive you nuts.

The real deal - original/authentic Shimano cleats, no monkey business. Takes a while to ship - the seller shipped from Japan, but unless youre having a Cleat Emergency, this is not a big deal.

Good product...

I havent actually used them yet, but they seem to fit nicely and work.

I purchased these to have an extra set of cleats on hand. They are Shimano cleats.
