Proper cleats for Shimano 747's?

Some thing like 51/52 are the right number on the cleats . You could have some after market
cleats.They just don't work as good as Shimano cleats. Good luck .

"97A" (could be 87A; it's not real clear) on the cleat. I'm sure they're Shimano cleats, but I'm
not sure if these are the best ones for the pedals as they really don't feel right after repeated
attempts to get the release tension just right. It's been a while since I had Shimano pedals, and
I really don't remember the what the correct cleat is. Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Greg

The 51 cleat is the right one to use.

I think those are Wellgo cleats (definitely not Shimano) and they will not work properly with
Shimano pedals. The correct cleat is Shimano SM-SH51

Those sound like Wellgo cleats, which are SPD clones with varying compatibility. Real Shimano SPD
cleats come in 2 flavors, "single-release" (black) and "multi-release" (silver), preference is a
personal thing. If you don't know which you want, get m-r if you worry about not being able to
release, s-r if you worry about pullouts. M-r cleats will release with a twist (like s-r) or a
"roll" of the foot.
