If that is the question, the answer is to get brakes!
I don't have issues running SPDs on any of my bikes, I check the cleats every so often to make sure they are tight (as I would with any cleat from any manufacturer) and when they need replacing I will replace them. There are people who think they never need to replace things that actually wear on their bike and they wonder why they have problems with those items or with other items associated with them.
