Remember to replace your cleats

[Wahine]

Do regular spd's have this marker? (and if so, what to look for?...)Thanks!

I'm not sure about all SPD cleats, but mine do not. I can tell when mine need replacing because there is too much play between my shoe and the pedal. They also become harder to clip out of and can get noisy (squeaking or clicking).

In general, I just assume that my cleats will need replacing about once per year. I'd rather pay $20 for new cleats than deal with pedal issues that might be related to cleat wear.

ETA: Keep in mind that I ride A LOT. So once a year is probably more often than most.
