Are these shoes compatible with Shimano A530 SPD Pedals which come with 2 bolt clip pattern? Why are the 3 bolt clips more comfortable?

The shoe comes with 2 bolt clips but it can accept 3 bolt clips as well. I have never used 3 bolt clips.

Does NOT come with shoes, but DOES come with clips. Works with shimano shoes. Not sure about any others.

Hi Dawn, sorry for the delay but I purchased as a gift for a friend and had to contact her. It appears that the pedals are standard regular bike pedals, along with the toe cage, but no clips for cycling shoes to clip onto. I hope that helps in your decision, as I had to do some research to make sure I understood your question. Ha! Thanks for your patience!

Shimano SPD-SL, they work for me on that setup. they DO NOT WORK for the standard SPD peddals. do a quick google on SPD vs SPD-SL

I believe the M in SH-WM51 stands for Women. This shoe does not come with the SPD clip, depending on what you are needing it for. If you are using it for indoor cycling/spin I would recommend the single release SPD clip if you are an outside cyclist I think you may want to go with the dual release. I recommend you getting the clip and having it installed at a local bike shop for the best fit. I love my Shimano's! I mainly use them for indoor cycling. Hope this helps.

Yes if you are installing a SPD MTB type cleat in the shoe. But the Click'r system is made to clip in and out easier so I don't understand why you would choose this shoe and not a Click'r specific pedal. Which would be a better option. These pedals are OK, but I would not buy them again.

In the past, I have found that all the spd pedals are compatible. I didn't change the cleats when I started using this pedal. They were a little tight at first but I backed off on the adjuster and they work fine. This one's the best spd road pedal I have tried.

Yes they will but you have to buy the cleats separately. Just look for the Shimano SM-SH52 SPD Cleat Sets.

They are made for Dia Compe brand brakes, not Shimano. That said, will they? Perhaps. Cheap enough to try it, I think, if they visually look compatible.

They work with Shimano SH51 style cleats, single direction and multi-direction. And they are very strong, its a chromoly spindle, although this is designed as a commuter/hybrid pedal, not for mountain biking as it is single sided.

Yes they will work as in, you will be able to pedal your bike, but it will be very uncomfortable after a short while and you will have very poor grip. These pedals were designed to be used with cycling specific shoes to which you screw the metal spd cleats (hook) that are included with them.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

No. The pedal is similar to a road bike pedal but in SPD form allowing you to use SPD clips. Your foot rests more on the pedal than the standard SPD pedal allowing for a more comfortable ride if you are doing a long road outing.

These pedals are designed for SPD clips, check out clipless pedals if you are not sure what this means but apparently clips are the old style toe cages. Confusing but a quick search will help clear that up.

Yes, the pedals include a set of 2 cleats (one for each shoe). These included cleats will also work with any other Shimano pedals in the SPD line.

The pedals use different cleats. Look pedals need Look cleats, SPD I think are made by a different company and will not fit Look.

"Normal shoes" as in street shoes/tennis shoes/running shoes etc? No, not really a good idea, and I personally would really have to say "No." these are "clip in" style pedals that are for bike shoes with road cleats (specifically SPD-SL road cleats)... if you want to ride with "normal shoes" you really should use a pedal with toe clips such as the Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle
