Based off the discussion on the Today thread about clipless pedals and knee pain:
How often do you replace cleats/pedals?
My right ankle is starting to feel a little twinge on long rides and it feels like my float or connection to the pedal has changed, though not on purpose. My shoes were cheap to begin with and certainly feel softer than a year and a half ago. My pedals, also cheap Shimanos are getting fairly rusty. Clipping in and out is still no problem.
What do you look for when inspecting for too much wear and tear?
Edit: I have SPD shimano pedals and SIDI blaze shoes.

Interesting, when I was looking for those links, one says the plastic in the shoe wears out making it harder to adjust the cleat. That could be a thing...
