I have found regular spd 2 bolt to work better for me. I found no advantage with the 3 bolt sl's, actually a detriment. The cleats do not wear well, and it takes very few steps to increase the rate of that wear. Also, there are covers available that do work, but they are still sketchy for any walking, and one has to remember to bring them along, then put them on before taking the steps. I still have 2 pairs of the 3 bolt that do not get used. The size 9 Bont Riot are very comfortable with a bit more room in the toe cap.
