Shimano SPD-SL Cleats

Shimano makes three different cleats to fit their performance road pedals. You'll know when it's time to replace them when the coloured wear-indicator tips are worn out, or when that silky-smooth clipping in-and-out motion gets a little less smooth. Use these with Shimano-brand road pedals only. They'll fit 3-bolt road shoes, and come in three styles; the Shimano SH10 SPD-SL Red is fixed—no float, the Shimano SH12 SPD-SL Blue has 2 degrees of float, and the Shimano SH11 SPD-SL Yellow has 6 degrees of float.

Shimano SH12 Cleat (Blue)

The Shimano SH12 SPD-SL Cleat Set Blue is perfect if you need a small amount of float but don't want to waste energy with excess movement.

2 degrees of float
Blue-coloured wear indicators
Very smooth clipping motion
Fits 3-bolt road shoes
Use with Shimano brand road pedals only

Shimano SH11 Cleat (Yellow)

The Shimano SH11 SPD-SL Cleat Set Yellow is perfect if you need the maximum amount of float, making it easier on knees and letting your body find its natural pedal stroke.

6 degrees of float
Yellow-coloured wear indicators
Very smooth clipping motion
Fits 3-bolt road shoes
Use with Shimano brand road pedals only

Shimano SH10 Cleat (Red)

The Shimano SH12 SPD-SL Cleat Set Red is perfect if you want absolutely zero float, locking you into a fixed position on the pedals so every ounce of power you put down goes into moving forward.
