Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Come in multiple versions, so every rider can choose their favourite amount of float.
- Clipping in and out of your pedal is easier and more comfortable with new cleats.
- Each colour has its own degree of float: Red: 0 degrees, Blue: 2 degrees, Yellow: 6 degrees.
- Yellow is for anyone starting out in cycling or not 100% sure of their cycling position.
- Blue and Red can be used by cyclists who have done a bikefit, and these cleats can be used competitively.
- As cleats are prone to wear, they'll need to be replaced every now and then.
- Please note: These cleats can't be used as a replacement for 2-bolt Shimano SPD mountain bike cleats.

With these Shimano SPD-SL cleats for road bike pedals, you'll be securely fastened to your pedal and will easily clip in and out. These SPD-SL cleats are available in three variants: yellow, blue and red. These each allow for a different degree of float.
Yellow Cleats
Yellow cleats have the highest degree of float. These are the standard cleats that come with most Shimano road bike pedals. These cleats have 6 degrees of float, which gives you a lot of freedom of movement when cycling. The advantage of these cleats is that you can ride in comfort, and the chance of discomfort in your knees or other body parts is lower. The disadvantage is that you lose pedalling energy because of the movement of your foot.
This cleat is used by many groups of road cyclists, ranging from recreational to professional. However, a lot of avid cyclists opt for a cleat with less float.
Blue Cleats
These blue cleats have 2 degrees of float, which is less than the yellow cleats. This means that the foot's freedom of movement is reduced when clipped into the pedal, resulting in less energy loss during cycling. The disadvantage of decreased float is that it's more difficult to find an ideal foot position while cycling, which increases the risk of knee problems. To avoid this, the cleat must be adjusted with greater precision.
Red Cleats
Shimano's red cleats have no float at all. This means that the foot has no freedom of movement while you're cycling, which means that almost all energy benefits the pedalling movement. This allows you to ride faster and have more control when using this pedal, which is why these cleats are often used by competitive cyclists. The disadvantage of these cleats is that they have to be finetuned very precisely. If the cleats are not properly adjusted, there's a greatly increased risk of knee complaints or problems with other body parts.

Good and easy installation and 2 degrees of movement.
- Michel 7 February 2025
I have been using these Shimano SPD-SL for quite a while now and I like them. Only downside is that they wear out quite quickly when walking so take that into consideration when you buy them. You can buy rubber shoes for that so you won't be bothered so much.
Pros & Cons
2 degree movement
Easy to clip in
Easy to install
Rather quickly worn feet.

Very good product
- Geoffrey 7 January 2025
Perfect for replacing worn cleats. This is the Shimano model that will suit the vast majority of users, providing good quality cleats and a degree of angular freedom when pedalling.

They are fine, and should they wear out, an extra set on spare is never a bad idea.
Pros & Cons
Also handy to have in reserve
Good freedom of movement
Great pictures
Do wear out and do not run very well ;-)

I have been using Shimano's yellow cleats for many years. The (slight) play to the left and right when you pedal around prevents injuries to knees.

Good quality, last for years.
