Are these shoes good for a road bike and what peddles are best suited for a road bike

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

After about 1year and 1300 miles they have been great. They are good to walk around when you are not on the bike I have shimano combo pedals spd on one side and regular on the other I think they are A530 or similar.

I have not used them for any serious mountain biking, just across fields and gravel roads, but I think they would be OK. Be aware that these are easier to release than standard SPDs, and that does increase the likelihood of an unintentional pedal release.

Shoes are very personal. It depends on how wide ur foot is etc. U will see as some shoes have diff widths. I was new to cycling and didn't feel any shoe was comfy until I tried.the giro shoe. I bought the giro gauge shoe. Love it. Unlike pedals u need to try the shoe on b4 u buy.

Hey Paul, I bought two sets of these pedals for my beater road bike and the bearings didn't last 100 mi. in either one before they started making noise. They both went onto the trash. I've got no idea whether they are compatible with foot straps. Spend a little more and get a better pedal. regards, Dave

These pedals have the near universal thread size and will fit nearly all higher quality bikes. They will not fit the Ashtabula style cranks found on cheap dept store bikes or BMX bikes. They are vg with street shoes used with mt bike or regular road bike toe clips and are quite elegant copies of the classic French Lyotard pedal.

It would defeat the purpose not to purchase bike shoes. You get a better work out with them. Far more control and you work the legs throughout the entire rotation.

Hi Glenda, as long as your bike is a mountain bike and that you choose the right size, it should fit. These tires won't fit the road bikes.

I remember I purchased cleats at local bike shop separately. Please buy the shoes at amazon and buy cleats at local shop and ask them to install them on the shoes.

I would say that if you wear a wide is street shoes... get a wide in a road bike shoe. The part number would be SH-R088W (you can find it on zappos.com)

Yes, mine are installed on a road bike but they could be installed on either.

I don't know for sure. It did not seem like that is what they are made for. As pedals for my city commuter bike they are the best I have ever had.

That is the intended purpose of the mtn bike pedal. Although you could use them on almost any type of bike, as long as you have SPD compatible shoes.

I'm not quite sure. I use them with Look style cleats, and its been awhile since I've used a bike at the gym.

Hi, my boyfriend is using this shoe for indoor cycling only. He doesn't have an outside road bike - so, I am not sure if it would work or not. Sorry, I can't really advise on the outside riding.

usually one piece cranks (part of the gear) take 1/2 inch; cranks that bolt to the bike are usually 9/16 inch; if the pedals on the bike are not marked you can always call the bike maker's 800 number and ask (which is what I did on one of my bikes) and if you give them the model they can tell you. These will fit just about any bike, road, mountain, comfort, or commuter; they are just a little wider and longer than stock pedals. I have a comfort bike(1/2 pedals) and a commuter bike (9/16 pedals) that I have used these on for two years with no problems and they really grip the bottom of the shoes well.
