Cleat covers exist because walking on your road cleats destroys them, and destroyed cleats mean sloppy engagement and premature pedal wear. LOOK's Keo Cleat Covers snap over your installed Keo cleats to provide a protective walking surface when you're off the bike—coffee shop stops, quick errands, or any situation where you're clomping around on surfaces that would otherwise grind down the cleat's engagement edges. The covers add enough traction to keep you from skating across tile floors, which is the secondary benefit beyond cleat preservation.

The design is straightforward: a rubber shell that conforms to the Keo cleat shape and stays in place through friction fit. They're sized specifically for LOOK Keo cleats, which means they work with any of the Keo cleat float options—red, grey, or black—since those cleats share the same external dimensions. The covers won't interfere with cleat bolts or your ability to reinstall the cleats on your shoes, and they're lightweight enough to stuff in a jersey pocket when you're ready to ride.

Material choice matters here because the covers need to grip hard surfaces without being so rigid that they crack. LOOK uses a flexible rubber compound that handles the compression and release cycle of being pulled on and off repeatedly. You'll get more life out of your cleats and more confidence walking on surfaces that would otherwise have you shuffling carefully to avoid slipping.... Read More
