It didn't enhance the Keo experience to have a chunk of plastic fall off the all plastic
cleat on one ride about 15mi out (cleats had ~1400 miles on them).
Keo/look cleats wear out pretty quickly. Using cleat covers makes for easier walking and less wear on the cleats.
FWIW, I commute in my road Sidi shoes with Look Keos everyday. I use cleat covers. I also have a system for saving money on cleats.
I use my right foot as my support (down) foot at stop lights/signs, etc... So it gets worn out way faster.
When I switch the cleats out, I throw out the right cleat and save the left cleat. The second time around (when the right cleat is fried) I swap in the left cleat from before. Now I have a half-worn set of cleats. The third time, I throw out both cleats and start the process a new. Basically, I end up buying buying two sets of cleats, for every three sets one would use without saving the half-worn left cleat.
No way a right side cleat would last me 1400 miles.
