Strengths: Low priceWeaknesses: Difficult to clip into. Poor cleat durability. Squeaky.Bottom Line: Having had Campagnolo look style pedals on bikes for the past 15 years, I decided to go for the new Look Keo Classic pedals on my new custom build dream bike. What a mistake. I found the contact area of the pedals too small resulting in excessive pressure on a small area of my feet. However the worst feature of these pedals was the difficulty I had engaging. I've used look and spd style pedals for the last twenty years and apart from the first couple of rides never had a problem clicking in. But these keo classic pedals were awful. On numerous occassions I found myself struggling to get the cleat correctly engaged, making me look like a dork when pulling away at junctions and traffic lights. Not good at all. To compound matters, I found that after the first fifty miles or so the pedals developed an annoying creak, particularly when putting the power down.
Enough was enough, I bit the bullet and paid £85 (about $140) for a pair of Shimano Ultegra carbon spd pedals. What a difference - absolutely fantastic - reminded me why I went clipless in the first place. Sorry Look but you've lost a loyal customer with this poor quality product.

Strengths: East install (need allen key, not pedal wrench). Solid entry/disengagement. Float. Large platform allows me to ride short distances if street shoes or even flipflops.Weaknesses: The right pedal has developed a creak. Not sure if i just need to clean the pedal and cleat contact points, but it was really grating last ride. Could have been moisture between the two, but it really had me thinking of getting some 105s.
Sometimes it feels as is there is too much float.
And sometimes the "good natured ribbing" gets annoying. I know they are chick pedals. Let it go.Bottom Line: This review is actually for the Look Keo Elle line. Yeah, I'm a guy and these are chick pedals, but they were the blue and white colourway to go with my Cannondale. Before these I had ridden some cheap Look knockoffs, mtb spuds, crank bros egg beaters and crank bros road pedals.
These have a nice solid engagement and loud click that announces you are back in. They have a large platform so you never feel like you are going to slide out. There is a ton of float, so if you like/need float, these are good. Disengagement is easy. I was worried about it after my knock offs, but these are great.

Strengths: light, easy to get in and out of. clipping in is easy, pedal always returns to the same spot. smooth actionWeaknesses: LOOSE, way to loose. my mtb pedals are tighter than this.Bottom Line: I picked these pedals up based on price, they are also my first proper road pedals. They ride really loose, even on the highest setting. I slipped out of the pedal while riding nice and slow on the trainer to set the cleats. hopefully going to be switching to something a little better/tighter. I can't imagine sprinting in these, much less powering up a hill.
