Road cleats are a wear item. The yellow SM-SH11 is the version most road riders use, because the float forgives small position errors.

What the listing publishes

For SPD-SL, 6-degree float, yellow, designed to match the rigidity of Shimano SPD-SL pedals, with a walkable design and blue, yellow and red ground contact points that show wear.

How it compares with the NAACOO

The NAACOO cleats on this shelf cost less and are sold as compatible. If you ride with a fresh cleat and care about a precise engagement, the original is the safe choice. Cheap cleats often wear faster, but we have not measured that here.

What to check before you buy

Mark your old cleat position on the shoe with a pen before you take it off. Tighten the bolts evenly, following the torque printed on the shoe sole.

The questions riders ask

What does 6 degrees of float mean?

Your foot can rotate slightly while clipped in. That can ease pressure on the knee.

When should I replace them?

Shimano uses colored contact points that show wear. Replace them before the cleat engages loosely.
