Great SPD pedal
By Porkee Peeg
I moved from Crank Bros Candy X's to the Shimano on my new Cervelo. I'm 140lbs and had to adjust clip-out all the way negative, still a bit tight but I'll get used to it. Clip-in is smooth and easy as they are well balanced, resting @ 12-6 toe at noon for easy clip-in while on the go.The Cranks had 6-10 degree float, the Shimano's feel like 3 degrees. I prefer the latter as I feel more in tuned with my pedaling. If you wear MTB SPD shoes, these are great, not the lightest, good weight. They also mate & look well with my Shimano 6650 grey compact crankset. Scratches, scaring? Who cares? Not me as I don't see the pedals while riding. Besides, what pedal doesn't get scraped and gouged from cleats?

By Peter G
Let me say up front that I do not like clunking around in road shoes when I stop at a country general store or deli (or anywhere else for that matter) while out on a long ride. Shimano makes a line of 'hybrid' cycling shoes that have a slight heel, and a slight sole around the cleat (ball of your foot). They are not full soles like on mountain bike shoes, and they look like, and are, road shoes. However, you can only use SPD cleats w/ these hybrid shoes.I bought these pedals as they looked like nice platform road pedals that use SPD cleats that were intended for use w/ my Shimano shoes. I was having problems with hot spots, like others here, with traditional SPD mountain bike pedals. I haven't noticed ANY hot spots w/ these pedals at all. They have actually provided a nice stable platform for climbing..Like others here, I have noticed the scratching, but it doesn't really bother me. I agree, all pedals end up scratched, but maybe not as much as these. Most of the scratching is around where the cleat mates w/ the pedal. Shimano should look into what they could do to provide a better finish.I have had NO PROBLEMS w/ entry/exit. As a matter of fact, these are the easiest pedals I've owned to clip/unclip.Overall a great, versatile, and quality pedal (and great price on Amazon too!)

Helps forestall hot-foot
By Michal Young
I bought these for randonneuring (an endurance cycling activity that starts at 125 miles and goes up ... way up), because I often have a problem with hot-foot. While I can't do a properly controlled experiment to be certain they are having the desired effect, they do seem to spread the pedal pressure more evenly across the foot, relative to standard two-sided SPD pedals.Regarding points others have raised:Not really Ultegra: True, it is dishonest to advertise these as ultegra. Nothing on the product or package indicates them as ultegra. (For those who don't know what this is about: Ultegra is a label Shimano uses for a line of products indicating a very high quality level, a notch above their "105" line and a notch below their "dura ace" line.)Susceptible to cosmetic damage: Yes. This doesn't matter much to me, but I do wonder what they were thinking in giving them a color that would quickly show inevitable scratches.Difficult to clip in to: No. I very quickly learned to how they hang, and the foot motion required to clip in without looking became automatic. There might be a very, very marginal disadvantage relative to dual-sided SPD, but it has not been a problem for me at all ... in fact I have less problems clipping in to these, after just a week or two, than into the Look Keo pedals that have been on my go-fast bike for years.
