Short life, for no apparent benefit

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Same problem as previous review: after less than 200 miles, the cleats started to deform, making it difficult to clip in. And, they unexpectedly clip out (dangerous!). I squeezed almost 1,000 miles out of these, but should have tossed long ago - both left and right became too worn and unpredictable. For me, cleats normally wear out after years of walking on them, but these degraded from clipping in and out. Replaced with sturdier (simpler) Shimano cleats.

How bad can cleats be?

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I purchased ISSI cleats for my Shimano road pedals and got about 200 miles out them (the ISSI cleats). There is a white plastic component in the toe and heel of the cleat that seems to be made out of a softer plastic which deformed easily causing the cleats to no longer catch and engage with the pedal. I didn't think that a cleat could be good or bad, it's just a hunk of plastic with no moving parts. However, these ISSI cleats enlightened me to how bad a cleat can be after just a few rides. Maybe these would be okay acceptable as an emergency extra set, but I suggest you look for another manufacturer for a quality product.

Are these for shimano or look pedals? Ive seen the sl model listed as shimano on other websites and wanted to make sure it was shimano.
