Does not clip in efficiently. You have to twist it into the pedal. I made numerous adjustments. But it still didn’t work. I bought a Shimano brand cleats and they worked perfectly.

While the bike cleats are fine and work correctly, you cannot use the hardware supplied with the cleats. The head of the screw and the metal plates are too thick and prevent the rider from clipping into the pedals.I tried clipping in for about ten minutes using the supplied hardware and was not successful with either shoe. After comparing hardware, I switched the hardware to those from my old cleats and I was then able to clip in just fine. I should add that my shows and pedals are both Shjmano brand equipment.Pic 1 shows the hardware included and how the head sticks up above the plate. This is what prevents the successful clip-in,''Pic 2 shows the cleat with my old hardware, not nothing sticks upPic 3 shows the hardware side by side, and you can see the much higher profile of the new hardware (the silver color set is the new hardware)

they do not actually fit in SPD pedals. I was unable to clip into the bike pedals.

I have connected those clamps to bike-shoes and to the bike without problems. Good and functional product.

Screwed in easily with the enclosed allen wrench and they mate very well with my Shimano pedals. Very crisp entry and very secure. Happy with these, glad I got the pack with 2 pair. In comparing these with photos of the Shimano branded cleats, they appear identical and are less expensive.

They are as far as I can tell equal to the Shimano cleats at a good price

These cleats work well on the road pedals, clips in well, pretty snappy. Only complaint/advice to give is to throw the hardware away. Unless you put your cleats all the way to the front, the hardware supplies is useless. Check out my second image, the hardware with the package is quite thick. Bolt head is thick, washer is thick. It will protrude above the clear and will interfere with the pedal. You will not be able to clip in. Use the original Shimano hardware or at least hardware that have a flat head. I'm using the ones from Rockbros and it works.

Really wanted it to work but just a touch too big to clip into the Shimano Ultegra R7000 pedals. When compared to the OEM cleats, the dimensions are slightly off, just enough to make the difference. I swapped it out with the OEM cleats and they clipped in easily.

These were easy to install and work just like the more expensive name brand cleats. A great value!

They look good and fit well, but I broke one quickly. The original Shimano lasted a lot longer with a lot more abuse.

My old Shimano cleats were 15+ years old and basically toast. At the current $20 for two pairs, these SPD-SL cleats by DBXIIART are about half the cost of new Shimano replacement cleats. Here's how they compare:- The plastic cleats themselves are indistinguishable from Shimano cleats. Whatever molds and processes this vendor is using, it's an excellent match. The new cleats are a snug fit with my Shimano pedals and are usable as-is without adjusting the tension. I may loosen the tension slightly since these new cleats are (obviously) not worn down at all, but that would be just because I'm now used to a looser fit.- The bolts that come with these cleats have a much smaller head than the bolts that came with my Shimano cleats originally (see review photos). While the new bolts might work okay, my old cleats were bullet-proof and never came loose, so I put the new cleats on using the old bolts.- The rectangular washers that come with these cleats are *very* different from the Shimano washers. My old Shimano washers have recesses and grooves to match the bolt and to keep the washer in place; the DBXIIART washers are very slightly shaped, but basically flat by comparison. Again, the Shimano hardware has been bullet-proof, so I put the new cleats on using the old washers.BOTTOM LINE: As a *replacement* for name-brand (Shimano or otherwise) SPD-SL cleats, these cleats are an excellent value. If you have hardware you use and trust, my advice is to keep that hardware. That's what I did. If you're buying these cleats to put on a completely new pair of cycling shoes (not as a replacement), I would be wary of the DBXIIART hardware (bolts and washers). I have 20+ years of riding with clipless pedals under my belt - I would not count on the DBXIIART hardware to stay securely in place based on the bolt head and geometry of the washers.I've taken off one star for the hardware.
