LOOK | Keo Grip Road Cleats Black |pair of 2

I prefer the zero float or the gray set which is about 4.5 degrees float. The red 9 degrees of float is way too much and I feel I lose too much energy, even in casual rides. I don’t race, but I like to ride with purpose. I used to have to buy a new pair of these once a quarter when I was commuting to and from work on a daily basis, even when I used covers as I walked a few yards to and from bus/train depots. Recreationally, I’ve found I only need to change them about once a year because I don’t need to walk in my shoes much during a ride. They lose a star because the plastic could be stronger in my opinion.

I made the mistake of not knowing what the different colors mean and ordered the red cleats, which have 9 degrees of lateral movement vs. the grey cleats that i have been using for many years, The grey are something like 4 degrees and, for me, make it easier to unclip than the red cleats with more side to side movement. But, the Look Cleats are just fine and the vendor shipped asap.

The Good: I’ve been using these Keo Grip cleats with my PowerTap P1 pedals. Surprisingly, the Keo Grip cleats are easier to clip in and out than the cleats that came with (and are supposedly made for) the pedals. And the softer plastic of the Grip pads made starting at intersections or just walking much safer.The Bad: After riding for a few months and maybe 1000 miles, I noticed clipping in felt odd and discovered that the front pad had simply disappeared from the right cleat and the pad on the left cleat was peeling off. The pads were not worn even to the halfway point, so they should have lasted much longer.

My first pair I used until they malfunctioned (pop out of pedal), the rubber goes quick, then you have loud tapping sound when walking, slippery on tile floors. I have toppled over a few times if I miss the first attempt to unclip, but they do stay on the pedals even with hard pedaling. They are nice and efficient and really help your biking and getting up hills. I’ll might go SPD next time so I’ll be same as my friends and also mountain bike use. Although I went to these bc my SPDs would pop out under pressure, but maybe it was due to wear and tear. One cool thing about the LOOK is they make a nice loud click when you snap in, so people know you mean business…

I like little to no float and these have way too much movement for my taste. I found the cleats would detach fro. The pedal with little effort. I ended up replacing with the black cleats.
