Do pedals wear out?
Specifically Shimano road 105 SPD-SL. There seems to be a lot of up and down movement with the way the shoe is held in, makes hill climbing difficult. The pedals are about 3 years old. I have Ultegra version of the pedals on another bike and they are like chalk and cheese, no movement. Is there an adjustment maybe or has something worn out meaning I need to replace them or is it a 'feature' of cheap pedals?

Yep, this plastic bit ("body cover") wears out in the middle, causing up and down movement.
If you're looking for a replacement, make sure you get the right ones, coz the Ultegra and Dura-Ace ones aren't always the same shape
