I don't know if this applies, but I use Sidi's and SPD's, so I use silicone to seal up the slots where the cleats attach. I always thought it was lame that I could walk on wet grass, and have water seep into my socks. lame. so when I install my cleats, I use blue lock tite on the cleat bolts, and silicone the cleats and fill the adjustment slots.
