SPD-SL Cleat covers

Will Nunez

Struggling with this one. Found someone advertising Exustar as SPD SL covers but found they were look and SPD only.


Shimano make them but struggling to find a stockist. I do a lot of commuting that involves walkig on train platformes etc. So want to make the cleats last

Any of the above any good?

Yep, anyone used em. At £12 thats the price of the cleats, Im just wondering if they make they wear out as quickly as the cleats :-)

i use SPD-SL on my road and time trial bikes, however i use SPDs on my commuter and MTB. I rarely walk far when on my TT or road bike, but the ease of walking and the extra longevity of the steel SPD cleats over plastic SPD-SL cleats in is far more preferable on my commuter.

Im tempted to run different pedals as I have 2 shoe sets. But once in a while i like to use sunday best bike for weekly commute. Doesnt make me any faster, just better feel to the bike :-)

Have opted for the shimano made ones. But would be interested to get a review from this site. The other cover I looked at was probikeskins (looks like they dont need to be removed but would be a hassle with overshoes) and cleatskin products. has anyone tried these?

Most of the cyclists in America use cleatskins. They are ace. Dont see them in the UK much but had a search and came across this website: http://www.sportstechlab.com/category-s/1842.htm . Know they do SPD covers.

Wiggle have recently started selling the Cleatskins too.

I like the look of the cleat skins, but ive made my choice. Does no one else use any thing at all?

You should be able to get any LBS to order them, but if you jsut google SMSH45 you should be able to find a list of stockists. I think I ordered mine from a shop in Petersfield, Hampshire, where they carried them in stock. I've only used them a couple of times, but they offer a good grippy, stable platform when in the cafe.
