The SM-SH10 cleats are the ideal choice for cyclists who demand that every ounce of their pedaling energy is converted into propulsion down the road. Featuring no float and a 100% fixed position, Shimano’s Red SPD-SL cleats deliver a tight connection between rider and bike, resulting in fully efficient power transfer that’s coveted by sprinters, professional athletes, or anyone chasing critical marginal gains on the bike.

For anyone unsure about which cleats to choose, the SM-SH11 are a great starting point. With their large float range and centered pivot point, Shimano’s Yellow SPD-SL cleats allow the toes to point in a wide range of angles and provide more room for error during set-up while still delivering an efficient connection between rider and bike. So if you’re new to cycling, experience knee pain, lack flexibility, or simply don’t know where to begin, these cleats are your best bet.
