If I am going to use these for SPD pedals do I need a converter or should I just buy the SPD bike cleats?

If you have a spd pedals & cleats you don't need a converter because it fits on 3 & 2 bolt pattern. Hope this would answer your question.

Spd cleats. You can see or purchase them from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-SM-SH11-Road-Pedal-Cleat/dp/B0009FTIH2/ref=sr_1_3/189-4659427-0447759?ie=UTF8&qid=1395352705&sr=8-3&keywords=shimano+spd+cleats

They bolt in to the bottom of your SPD-SL compatible bike shoes and then allow you to clip into your SPD-SL compatible pedals

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.

No, You Need SPD-SL cleats for these, Road Bike Cleats. MTB Cleats are SPD's. The "Float" is different on road cleats so be very caustious if you decide to switch from SPD's to SPD-SL. Hope this helps:)

Yes with these pedals you can wear street shoes or spd cleats. I agree w/ the other person that if you're concerned about weight then these are wrong for you.

The pedals have clips on one side and clip-less on the other. The clip-less side are for the smaller mountain bike cleats. Unless you have a mountain bike or hybrid that has the clip-less pedals I would stick to just using running shoes with the clip side of the pedal.

These are designed to work with the Shimano SPD-SL pedals.http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/pedals/road.html

SPD cleats and pedals are usually compatible but I'm not familiar with the shoe. Sorry

No idea, since I haven't taken any Soul cycle class. But you can call someone that works there (reoresentative/instructor) and ask what type of cleats are compatible with their bike pedals.

I'm not an expert but I believe these are meant to be used with some type of cleat. And yes they are quite small. They look simaler to a racing pedal in size and shape. I have not used the ones I bought.

The cleats that come with the pedals are larger than the spd cleats but your shoes should have the 3 screwholes in the shape of a triangle to fit them.Check here for picture http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/bike-pedals.html#CliplessPedalOptions

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

Yes you will, but they do not have asmuch surface area or grip as true platform pedals.

These can be used for either.; Though as a Look cleat they are usually used on road bikes. For spinning classes the black non-rotating cleats are probably superior. But of course you have to know which pedals are on the spinning machine you intend to use. There are a dozen different pedals on the market and they are not compatible. For instance - Look markets the Delta and the Keo. These look roughly the same but the Keo is smaller and uses a different sized though similar looking cleat. There are Shimano SPuD pedals in both the mountain bike and a street pedal that looks similar but is uncompatible with the Look. There are several others as well. It is also necessary to use a shoe that is compatible with the specific pedal/cleat system you intend to use. But usually shoes are compatible with the two major mounting systems.

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

I use the SPD cleat, the same one I would use in a spin class at any gym. If you have that, you are set. Hope that helps...
