Shimano Ultegra vs Dura-Ace Pedals

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We carry Look, Shimano, Speedplay and Crank Brothers. Truthfully they're all equally as popular (in terms of units). I've definitely gotten the feedback that Looks are easier to unclip/clip into than Shimanos, but I have zero issues with my Shimano pedals.

then you have no clue what keep on kovers are, you maybe referring to Speedplays Coffee covers.

Keep on kovers don't come off the cleats and they pretty much stay on all the time. I have them on all my shoes, and they have never fallen off no matter how I unclip. If anything they help to even clip in.

SPEEDPLAY : HIGH PERFORMANCE PEDALS

Very familiar with both products and their differences. Maybe it's MTB thing? I've never had to replace them for people who use them on the road.

I have a 'sensitive knee' and Speedplay Zeros felt better in terms of float than Look KEOs or the Garmin Vector (Exustar) pedals I use now. I highly endorse the Speedplay pedals. Keep on Kovers froze cleat wear like a time capsule.
