Thanks for your help SK! For making you engage grey matter - you should get 2 peppermint mochas!!! and yes - one of the cleats is pretty scratched up, the other is pristine. I wasn't going to buy replacement cleats until I knew rather or not I was going to like these. I noticed yesterday when I was pricing cleats that they also sell covers for them - looks like they just pop on/off.....do you use covers for yours?

Walking/stopping/standing et al didn't seem any different than in the SPDs but was just curious.................
