Hi! I’m a cycle instructor and I have to tell you this is the BEST “how to” video for SPD cleats! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Those little adjustments are soooo important! Who knew! ;)))
Thank you so much! I had left knee pain after installing my cleats and I think a proper fit was missing! That toe angle really changed the game! Lots of how to install, but your how to fit was clear, descriptive and easy to follow. Thank you again, you may have saved from going back to regular flats!
I originally gone to a local bike shop and he didn’t do any measurements and just put the clip in the most forward position. I ended up injuring my foot and my knee. My mother who also went to the same shop for adjustments complains of numb tose. This video explains why here tose were getting numb. I definitely will make these adjustments once my foot is better.
Thanks for this video, it was so helpful!! I’ve got my first pair of cycling shoes and didn’t know where to start. I can’t wait to try out my new Shimano IC501s on your next ride!! 🙌🥳
Thank you for this. I just got my first pair of Shimano shoes and really fumbled my way through getting them set up. The difference in the ride is amazing! They feel comfortable, but I’m going to go back and try your way to make sure I got it right.
Thank you! This made a huge difference just trying them out quickly with the new adjustments and I can’t wait to try a full ride. I think I’ll finally feel balanced in second position and can increase my speed!
Thank you so much for this video! My local bike shop installed my cleats for me and I’ve always felt like one was crooked or maybe my foot was crooked! 🤣 Thanks to your video, I think I’ve fixed it!
Hi Kayleigh, thank you so much for the info , I don’t have any cycling shoes as yet but was worried what shoes to get and how you fit them , I have now saved to my favourites and looking forward purchasing some snazzy shoes and cleats 😃x
Setting up cleats is huge, I would say next to saddle height it is the very foundation of a proper bike fit. If the cleat isn't right, everything will be off and you risk injury.
Yay! Thank you Jurrian! Yes, the last time we spoke they were in the process of adding men’s IC5s! We’ll definitely let everyone know when that launch! 💜
Thank you so much for this video! These cleats are so awesome, but I didn't have them installed correctly. I am currently working on setting them back up and realized how flat my feet are. Are there any adjustments needed for this? Also, my lines on one shoe are like wonky, one is way higher than the other. Where do I measure for the straight edge??
@@carolwright280 I rode twice this week without the cleats - they will be here tomorrow- and so far I love the way they feel. I prefer these because I can work out on the floor in them when I hop off the bike. I’ll report back once I install the cleats, but so for now, the support and comfort are 100% for me!
I just adjusted my shoes but not sure if I did it correctly. I had to go to the back holes to get the straight edge behind the arrows. I tested quickly on the bike and it feels good. The cleat is under the ball of my foot. Does this sound like I did it correctly? Also I’ll be starting REVIVE next week. I’m very excited
Hello - I'm trying to buy cleats for the first time! What do you recommend with sizing, do you go with your normal size or smaller or bigger? Thank you! p.s. I love your classes!
Yay!! So exciting!! I go with my normal size! I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but they have a size chart on their website which correlates to your measurements that might help too!!
How do you know what size to get I wear 7 in women and got a 7 in cycle cleats they feel a little snug around my toes more so because they’re flatter in the front. Should I return them and go up as size like a 7 1/2?
I'm this person now. I thought I'd try the bile for fun one day. Now, I'm attaching cleats to cycling shoes so I can punish myself even more efficiently tomorrow.
I also just bought the Shimano IC5 shoes. I have a question on the straight edge, do you line up with the bolts part of the cleat or the top of the cleat (the part that arrows up)? Also what about sliding the cleat horizontally, I was wondering about that too. I liked how you showed about tilting the cleat but do moving the cleat left and right, won't that make some difference too? Thanks for your help, love your channel!
Hi Carol! Yes, align the cleat at the top of the bolts with the straight edge and start from there. I recommend keeping the cleat in a neutral position left/right until you get on the bike to test the position. You can make some small adjustments from there! 💜
Hi Kaleigh and thanks for those instructions. What I'm having trouble with is, I clicked into my pedals, and initially, the shoes felt fine. Now my cleat rotates almost, and moves around, which I'm sure is not a good thing. and is not tight on the pedal. Also I can't get the shoe off the pedal now! So I cycle and my shoes are not tight, facing forward. I think I need a tutorial on how to click in correctly! 🤔. I have the white Shimano shoes like yours. How can I fix this problem? TIA!
Hi Lori! Sounds like your cleats weren’t tightened enough! The pedals will have a small tension screw you can loosen to get the shoe off. Make sure you re-align your cleat and install it tightly! Then make sure you re-adjust the tension screw on the pedal. Test them and make any small adjustments you need. Just make sure you tighten those cleat hardware down tight!
Great timing for me for this video, question: I bought the shimano IC1s and they didn't come with a metal plate like yours has, do I need that to install the cleats properly? I tried to unclip by twisting my foot and the cleat twisted too and scratched the bottom of my shoe. I'm not sure if I needed the plate as protection or not. Please advise, thanks!!
Hi Terrence and Margery! Ooh! Yay! The IC1s, awesome! 🎉 You shouldn’t need an extra plate! It sounds like you just need to tighten the screws down more!
Great video, but after having my bike and shoes set up by a pro fitter, I have used the yelllow shimano cleats for 5 years and never had any issues or pain. However recently i wanted to experiment and i moved the cleats all the way back, and now on the foot that i mostly clip and unclip, the top contact point of the cleat keeps breaking after 4 to 5 rides. This happen to me 2xs. Has anyone know about this issue or experience this before? Is only happening with the foot i use to clip in and out. Thank you
Hi Hugo! Sorry to hear you're having cleat trouble! Unfortunately I don't have any experience with SPD-SL type cleats so I wouldn't know how to help. 💜
Hi, I was wondering where to buy the clips for my pedals. I just bought a bike but it only has the cage pedal. I'm interested in getting the cleats but will I need new pedals ? Not sure ?
My feet fall asleep so bad and numb up when I’m on the peloton, it’s sooooo painful. I’m thinking of changing the pedals to SPD. Do you think that will help with that?
Hi Erika!! Sorry to hear that! It could be the style of shoe you have, but I would also just make sure that your bike is set up properly and also check and make sure that as you pedal you are pushing through the ball of your foot and not leading with a pointed toe! I hope that helos and I hope that you can alleviate the issue!
Have the same problem. I had to stop twice and receive my feet, cause I could feel my toes. Can it be cause the nose of the shoes are a bit tight? Thanks
Hi Amarilys! Check your bike’s manual or online and see if the pedals are compatible with SPD (two hole cleat) or SPD-SL (three hole cleat). From there you’ll know which shoes to order! 💜

Where has this product been all my life?! Works like a charm!
I've been looking for a video with a clear, spot on presentation on how to set up SPD cleats. This is it. Thank you!
The best video. I teach class and my ladies are all buying shoes now

oh thank you for this video! Been wanting to buy a pair of cycling shoes for a while now to add to the workout.
I just bought shoes and needed this!! Thank you!!! And tried yesterday a ride with shoes the sensation is way different! I feel my quads a lot !
Woo!!! Awesome!! Yes! The quad activation is on a whole new level with cycling shoes!!! 🙌🔥
Thank you for the tutorial! Very helpful - my feet are pain free! 😁

I just watched this again today. I got my new IC 5 shoes. 😁
Good morning , rainy day in McLean VA, you always brighten my day. Many thanks to this video, it helps me to fix my cycling shoes. 🙏👍🚴♀️🌹❤️💕
💜😍💜
Thanks for this video, it was so helpful!! I’ve got my first pair of cycling shoes and didn’t know where to start. I can’t wait to try out my new Shimano IC501s on your next ride!! 🙌🥳
This was an AWESOME VIDEO Kaleigh!!! Absolutely loved the video editing! 🔥🔥🔥 So stylish and fun! Thank you for this information!
What a cool and helpful video. I could have used this when I first wearing cleats years ago…. But it’s never too late to make the adjustment. Than you
Kaleigh you look stunning 🤩🥰💖This is so helpful . Thank you and Jason
Thank you for this. I just got my first pair of Shimano shoes and really fumbled my way through getting them set up. The difference in the ride is amazing! They feel comfortable, but I’m going to go back and try your way to make sure I got it right.
ic2 shoes my first ride with them sat am. nice firm fit. will keep you posted
Thank you!! Today I received my cleats!
Thank you! I'm going to check out my clets and I bet I'll be adjusting them.
You are awesome!!!
Thank you! This made a huge difference just trying them out quickly with the new adjustments and I can’t wait to try a full ride. I think I’ll finally feel balanced in second position and can increase my speed!
Thank you, thank you for this video!! I've been struggling with the placement of my cleats. I'm going to adjust them tonight 😃

Great and fun explanation! Can you ask Shimano when they will upgrade their collection with a IC5 for men?
Yay! Thank you Jurrian! Yes, the last time we spoke they were in the process of adding men’s IC5s! We’ll definitely let everyone know when that launch! 💜
@@kaleigh Another question around shoes, when buying shoes, do you add an extra size as you do for running shoes?
Thank you so much for this video! These cleats are so awesome, but I didn't have them installed correctly. I am currently working on setting them back up and realized how flat my feet are. Are there any adjustments needed for this? Also, my lines on one shoe are like wonky, one is way higher than the other. Where do I measure for the straight edge??
Great tips. Thank you for posting.
Great information 👍🏼thank you Kaleigh 😊
Absolutely LoVe my shimano shoes and I bought 2 of them since I had the sweet discount Kaleigh 😉😉thank you !
Oooh!!! Yay!!! Awesome! Thanks, Afsi!!! 😍🙌🙏💜💜💜
Excellent! Thanks so much for this video ❤️
This was great! Super informative and helpful. I’ll definitely be referring to this when I get my cleats for my IC3s! Thanks KC!!🙏🏽🥰💪🏽
Do you like the IC3? I couldn't decide between those and the IC5? I might exchange so please let me know! Thanks!!

You’d mentioned putting them on backward but didn’t take the time to show clearly which was was correct. I have Nike Superrep but am a bit lost
Thank you so much! Very informative. :)

If you don’t have tape, you can use a leftover piece of soap if you have dark colored shoes.

Hi Kelly! The pedals normally come with cleats. You will need to make sure you have SPD pedals on your bike! 💜
