Description

What it's for

A slip-on protection cover designed for Shimano SPD-SL road cycling cleats. It prevents slipping on hard surfaces like wet cafe tiles while protecting the plastic cleats from premature wear off the bike.

  • Features a deep, cross-hatched tread pattern on the sole for traction.
  • An internal tapered lip locks the cover securely over the top edge of the cleat hardware.
  • A solid rim surrounds the treads to prevent the edges from catching while walking.

Dimensions

  • Internal Layout: 75mm long by 55mm wide at the heel, matched to standard SPD-SL profiles.
  • Side Walls: 3mm thick for lateral rigidity and protection.
  • Base: 4mm thick solid sole, structured to accommodate 2.5mm deep tread grooves.

Materials

Printing this model in a flexible filament like TPU is strongly recommended. The flexibility allows the inner retaining lip to stretch over the cleat body during installation and removal, while the rubber-like material provides the necessary slip resistance.

Remix ideas

  • Adapt the internal cavity geometry and overall footprint to fit Look Keo or standard SPD cleat profiles.
  • Replace the cross-hatched tread with aggressive horizontal lugs or a custom dot pattern.
  • Add a small tether loop to the heel end to leash the covers together when stored in a cycling jersey pocket.
