Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Covers
I just bought a pair of Shimano SM-SH 45 SPD-SL Cleat Covers but before breaking open the clear plastic wrap I compared the cleats ( Shimano blue SPD-SL ) to the covers and the covers look too small - does anyone know if the rubber stretches a lot or if Shimano ( or other sellers ) make a wider cover ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts .

I am using them on blue and yellow cleats and like them. They do stretch, stay in place well and are easily removed. I really do not walk that much in them, but I get off the bike more than I use to. I am sure they will be well worth the investment for me.

they don’t cover the whole cleat, but they work fine.

They're the right covers. Here's what they look like when installed.
