Shimano America SPD Cleat Sets
If you've bent a cleat, lost a cleat, or ground them down to nubs that couldn't hold an empty shoe let alone your entire leg, you need a new set of Shimano SPD Cleats. Shimano actually recommends replacing cleats yearly to maintain consistent pedal release and retention. The SH51 is an easy-entry, single-direction release cleat designed for spin classes, commuters and road bikers using SPD pedals. The SH56 has multi-directional release and a corrosion-resistant chrome finish for mountain bike use, and the SH52 is for use with Shimano's PD-M858 pedal.
Bottom Line: New SPD cleats mean no more clip-out excuses when your buddies beat you up the hill.

Deedub, I am not so sure that the information you are providing...
Deedub, I am not so sure that the information you are providing is correct? Crank Brothers cleats are compatible with all SPD compatible shoes. (Most mountain bike shoes, and some entry level road shoes - the close side by side hole pattern) However, the specific crank brother cleat that attaches to the shoe - and that comes with the pedals - only works with crank brothers pedals. It is my understanding that the crank brothers cleats are NOT compatible with Shimano mountain cleats, and vise versa?

Deedub is correct. Yes, Crank Brothers cleats are compatible with all SPD compatible SHOES, but Crank Brothers cleats are not compatible with SPD pedals, nor are SPD cleats compatible with Crank Brother pedals (what Deedub said, just not explicitly).

NO, Crank Brothers pedals are not SPD compatible and will not work with these cleats.
