I do the same thing. I go through look cleats like there is no tommorrow. I switched to Time Pedals and they have metal (AL) cleats. Same pair for 3 years now. Just a thought.

Do you walk around in them? If so, no wonder.

If not, well, the cleats are plastic. Whaddaya expect? When I had Looks I would go through about 2 pair every season if memory serves.

I've got Speedplays and I use the cleat covers as soon as I step off the bike. Assuming I'm putting the cleat on concrete only when I'm getting on/off the bike and at stops, how long could I expect these to last? Anyone else use cleat covers religiously with their Speedplays?

Your favorite mafia sucks.

No, but Speedplay cleats are nuke-proof compared to Look cleats. I go through a pair every other year with no covers.

Raise your seat and use your brakes rather then the Fred Flintstone stop!

Prolong Cleat life.

Become one with bike.

Impress chicks.

(okay, the third one isn't really true)

I just broke both of my speedplay zero cleats on Wed night - don't know how I didn't wreck. skidding on the top tube to a stop. I think it is from running in T2 with them on, but I would check mine out carefully. They are about 2 years old
