Differences between SH10, SH11 and SH12:

The choice depends on the degree of angular freedom (float), i.e. the foot's ability to move sideways.

SH10 (red) - 0° of freedom

• No angular freedom (fixed position)
• Maximum power transfer
• Ideal for competitors and experienced cyclists
• Requires very precise adjustment

Perfect for pure performance, but not very forgiving

SH11 (yellow) - 6° of freedom

• 6° of float (3° on each side)
• Optimum comfort and reduced joint stress
• Ideal for beginners and long distances

The most versatile and widely used model

SH12 (blue) - 2° of freedom

• 2° of float (compromise between performance and comfort)
• Better support than the SH11
• Advanced pivot point for more stable pedalling

Ideal for regular cyclists looking for precision and comfort

FAQ - Wedges Shimano SPD-SL

Which cleat should you choose to start with?
The SH11 (yellow) are recommended because of their high degree of angular freedom, which reduces pain and makes them easier to adapt to.

Are the cleats compatible with all Shimano pedals?
Yes, all SPD-SL cleats (SH10, SH11, SH12) are compatible with Shimano SPD-SL road pedals.

How long do the cleats last?
These are wearing parts. How long they last depends mainly on how long you walk in your shoes and the conditions in which you use them.

Can I walk in these wedges?
Yes, they have anti-slip zones, but walking is limited to avoid premature wear.

Do the wedges influence knee pain?
Yes. A wedge with more freedom (SH11) reduces joint stress, while a fixed wedge (SH10) requires perfect adjustment to avoid pain.

How do I adjust my wedges properly?
Adjustment must be precise (alignment, backward movement, angle). Incorrect positioning can affect comfort and performance.
