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.

SM-SH11 Yellow SPD-SL cleats come stock with most Shimano SPD-SL pedals and are a great choice for the majority of cyclists. They feature a six-degree float range (three degrees in each direction), which allows for free movement and low joint stress while still creating a solid connection between rider and bike.
