Shimano SM-SH45 SPD-SL Cleat Covers

Perfectly fitting protectors for road bicycle shoe cleats. Protects your cleats and enables safer off-bike walking.

Walked on grass and dirt with these on and they kept my cleats clean! they snap on easily and are slim enough to keep in your jersey pocket. They feel sturdy, like they’ll last awhile, so the $18 price feels reasonable.

Best covers for Shimano road pedals. Snaps on securely and does not come off like the triangle shaped cleat covers.

These are great for prolonging the life of road bike cleats (SPD SL) if you have to walk in them at all. They do get a little too loose and prone to falling off over time, but other than that, work great. Little expensive for what they are, but they're useful.

Some years ago, after wearing out several sets of Shimano SPD cleats, I went looking for cleat covers. Shimano's were expensive so I tried a different brand that was $5-6 cheaper. They worked but they weren't that snug and eventually one of the covers fell off and I lost it. Stupidly, I ordered another set of the same brand and—no surprise—had the same results. So I decided to try the Shimanos. They are very snug and provide excellent protection for the cleats. They are snug enough that it's a little hard to get them on and off with one hand, which took some getting used to, but it's a small price to pay for not having to worry about them falling off. I wish I had bought them years ago!

I had a pair of cleat covers that were made out of soft rubber that did not last very long. These cleats are made of harder and more durable material. They have been working well.

I noticed walking on my gravel driveway was causing my new cleats to deteriorate quickly. Walking in the grass was messy so I purchased the cleat covers to reduce wear to my cleats. They snap on easily, stay on, and protect my cleats from the rocks. Just pull them off just before I take off, and drop in my jersey pocket. I am happy with my purchase. I can’t testify to durability as I just purchased them this week. I can say that I am glad I purchased them. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of trouble later on. Hopefully they will prolong the life of my cleats, therefore saving me money.
