Reviews over the

Shimano SPD-SL

After riding Speedplay pedals for several years I switched to Shimano. Adjustment takes some getting used to (listens more closely than the Speedplay) but once properly placed it is top notch. I prefer using the red plates over the yellow ones (too much play), easy to get on and off.

Pros & Cons

Seems to wear out fairly quickly

Super klick system. The yellow plates have just a little more play and are therefore a little more forgiving to muscles and tendons. For me, injury free is more important than those few percent more efficient cycling. The price at Mantel was competitive

Pros & Cons

Cleats with unique pedal support and precise non-slip during walking.

Pros & Cons

Purchased as replacements on previous ones that were 10 years old and many miles. Easy to fit.

Pros & Cons

Just right, slack makes adjustment easier which means less risk of complaints.

Pros & Cons

Easy to replace. Just mark off old plates with pencil and put new ones on.

Pros & Cons

The best shoe plates on the market with top service from mantle.

Pros & Cons

Cheap and fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Great product. You still have quite a lot of slack to move your feet.

Pros & Cons

Super fast delivery

Compared to yellow Shimano SPD-SL plate more stability. Unclipping the shoes is also totally fine!

The cleats are certainly good value for money. The freedom of movement is pleasant.

Pros & Cons

amazing cleats, less movement than yellow which I prefer

Pros & Cons

I've had the older style SPD type clips on MTB shoes for years and years. During my first weeks on Furlough I got myself some wide fit road shoes. Doh! They need SPDL clips, but they don't fit my pedals. So I purchased both pedals and cleats. In summary, they do exactly what they say on the box! But...... Are a blooming site more difficult to walk in.

Pros & Cons

Good cleats with decent rubberised grip pads. However, like all plastic cleats they are way over priced.

I bought the SH11 yellow cleats to fit to a pair of new shimano shoes ordered from Mantel at the same time, but already used the same cleats on my old shoes. The cleats are colour coded to suit the type of rider and the float provided by the yellow cleats provides me as an older sportive rider with the security and comfort that I need.

Pros & Cons

Really great

Good all rounders

Have tried a few alternates but keep coming back to these

good product

Pros & Cons

Clip in and out very nicely when new, but wear quite quickly if walked on for any distance

Good fit for purpose product from Shimano as always

Pros & Cons

Shimano replacement cleats at a great price when combined with other purchases

Pros & Cons

Very good product. Easy to install. Just enough give in the angle for my use. 100% satisfied
