Perfect, durable, secure, easy-dismount. With a set of cleat adapters, you get a grip on the ground too.

"When I was buying my first cleat-accepting shoes, Specialized Elite Road, several years back, a very helpful clerk looked at the shoe bottom with its 5 drillings and said "You can use anything with these!" He suggested these Shimano "MTB" pedals as the best, less-expensive alternative to snazzier looking "Road" pedals. I love them. I also immediately bought the Shimano SPD Cleat Adapter set SM-SH40, which is a set of hard plastic plates that fit in a breeze to the bottom of the shoe, before the cleats are screwed in on top of the adapters. The adapter plates have slender raised, rubber-fitted bars on both sides of the cleat, which create walking surfaces under the balls of your feet, so you're not walking on the metal cleats themselves, and which do not interfere with getting in and out of the pedals. A great help also when you have to stop in traffic and put one foot down, that your stepping foot is a gripping one not a sliding metal cleat one. Unfortunately Shimano doesn't seem to sell the SM SH-40 set any longer and it doesn't appear here on the main website, but they're available elsewhere as New Old Stock. You DO need shoes with the 5 drillings. The foremost shoe drilling receives the one hold-down screw for the cleat adapter itself, and the "wing" drillings (of the triangle of drillings other than the central cleat ones), receive two plastic adapter plate prongs which secure the cleat from rotating. There are even small guidelines on the adapter plates to help you best locate your cleat fore-and aft on the shoe before tightening the cleat down. The pedals are tough, need about zero maintenance, and very secure. After the years of danger with being strapped into road pedals, having these quick-release ones is a joy!"

Great Pedal!

"I went back to Shimano pedals after a stint on other brands. My MTB is full XTR but I did not want to put on XTR pedals because I constantly bash my pedals on rocks. I gave these a go after recommendations from my LBS and online reviews. I absolutely love them! Flawless performance and plenty of float without accidental releases. Smooth as can be and a performance bang for the buck!"
