Good to have around when using standard keo cleats and do not do on that easily.
During RAGBRI to walk the many host city streets and protect the shoes. Now they go everywhere with me.
They work fine, but I prefer the Kool Kovers because they are easier to put on and take off and they have a handy hole for hanging on the bike.
Beware if your shoes don't have good heel-grip. My new ones do, but my old ones didn't.
Great for minimizing wear and tear on your cleats. Hardly feel them in the jersey pocket either.
if you own LOOK pedals you must have covers... save the cleats!
I purchased these covers hoping to help save my Look Keo Grip Cleats from premature wear. I do feel more confident walking in these cleat covers while carrying my road bike up & down my apartment's outdoor concrete flight of stairs. I primarily use the covers, anytime I need to unclip and walk for any distances.( ie stairs, movie returns into stores, etc.)
I would recommend you practice placing these covers onto your cleats. First- with your shoes off, to see first hand how to place them on securely. Second, with shoes on, sitting, standing whatever works for you.
Pros OEM product, easy to stow away, light weight, saves your cleats from premature wear, affordable, essential accessory, snug fit
Cons none
Make your cleats last twice as long with these. I throw them in my jersey pocket if I know I'll be stopping and walking around. Asphalt will literally eat Look Keo cleats alive. While on a long ride once we passed through a town that had a street fair and they required that we dismount and walk our bikes for 3 blocks. I could barely snap in after that because the cleats had been torn up. Wish I had these covers then!
