FAQs
Are these covers compatible with non-Shimano cycling shoes?
No, these covers are specifically designed for a range of Shimano shoe models (EX900, EX700, EX700G, EX300, XM900, MT701, MT701G, MT501, SD501) and may not fit other brands or models.
How do I know if my Shimano shoes are compatible?
Please check the list of compatible models provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. If your shoe model is not listed, these covers are likely not compatible.
Can I leave these covers on while cycling?
These covers are intended for walking only. They are not designed to be worn while actively cycling and may interfere with pedal engagement or cause premature wear.
How many covers come in a pack?
The cleat covers are sold in pairs, meaning you receive one cover for each shoe.
How long do these covers typically last?
The lifespan depends on the frequency and conditions of use. However, the durable rubber construction is designed for extended wear protection.
Will these affect my ability to clip into my pedals?
When not installed, they should not affect your ability to clip in. When installed, they are designed to be easily removed before riding, so they don't interfere with pedal engagement.
Troubleshooting
Covers feel loose or fall off
Ensure you have the correct compatible Shimano shoe model. Realign the cover and press firmly, ensuring it's fully seated around the cleat edges. Check for any obstructions preventing a secure fit.
Difficulty attaching covers
Make sure the cleat itself is clean and free of excessive mud or debris. Align the cover carefully with the cleat shape and apply even pressure.
Reduced grip after a short period
Clean the surface of the covers with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or road film that might be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These covers are specifically designed for the following Shimano shoe models: EX900, EX700, EX700G, EX300, XM900, MT701, MT701G, MT501, and SD501. Ensure your Shimano shoes match one of these models before purchase.
Setup: Attaching the cleat covers is straightforward. Simply align the cover with your cleat and press firmly until it snaps or sits securely in place. Ensure all edges are tucked in properly for a snug fit.
