I recommend this product!

- Dimitar Dimitrov, 7 January, 2024

I like Shimano SPD SL, because I have a little bit space on the pedals to adjust my feet more comfortably during cycling.

Pros & Cons

Last long.
Reliable.
You have a little bit space to adjust your feet.
No.

Best value for money

- Jan, 6 January, 2024

Blue cleats give just enough clearance to avoid knee pain and ensure good power transmission. Much more stable than the yellow ones where I always feel like my pedal is coming loose. Much more wear-resistant than Look cleats and stepping is also smooth, especially in combination with the Shimano cleat covers.

Pros & Cons

Just enough clearance (blue)
Stable platform
Wear-resistant

- Ivo, 6 December, 2023

The Shimano SPD-SL cleats not only offer great grip and stability, but they have greatly increased my confidence on the bike. Thanks to their durability and performance, I feel powerful and connected to my bike every ride.

Easy to attach Shimano click parts

- Puck, 13 November, 2023

The Shimano SPD-SL are easy to attach to your click shoes. You can adjust them to your liking. Just starting out with click shoes? Then adjust them a bit looser so that engaging and disengaging them on the bike is easy. Do you want a tighter fit and already have experience with click shoes? Then you attach them a bit tighter. You can do this as you wish, which is ideal! A must-have for cyclists!

Pros & Cons

Can be attached as you wish
Easy to fix
Good price

Easy to fit, clicking in and out is smooth. Use a torque wrench to fit them, 4nm is about right. With care you should get about a year of use.
