      Comments about Shimano SH-51 Lateral Release SPD Cleat:

      I have an ankle injury, so clipless pedals are more challenging for me than average. I prefer SPDs over all other pedals, and these are, in fact, good cleats. However, because of my injury, I have a little bit of a hard time getting out of the pedal, when using these cleats.

      So, while I like them, they SH56 outshines them in every way for me, and I would suggest it before the SH51. But I have to emphasize, my problem with these cleats is a problem with my body, not the cleats themselves. I would still recommend them to a friend, but I would tell a friend how much I enjoy the SH56 also.

        Comments about Shimano SH-51 Lateral Release SPD Cleat:

        They will ware thin if you walk on pavement much as I do, then they release easier, it is a slow degradation until your foot escapes the peddle. I get about 2 years before I need to replace them. Other than that they are great. cheers
