Curious: why? Why not just get the right cleats?

I expect because of more float on the Look.

then just switch to Look pedals. I’m up to 3 pairs of Keo Classic pedals now because every time I need to replace my cleats I can pick up the pedals for $30, whereas cleats on their own are $20+.

Pedals (especially road pedals) run on the printer+cartridges price model nowadays.
