Is this shoe well suited for spinning w SPD pedals / clips?

For spinning, I look for a WELL VENTILATED, easy to walk in shoe with decent support in the sole. Comparatively speaking, this shoe should serve you quite well. It is also compatible with SPD pedals/clips.

Depends on the pedals. These are SPD cleats. Some bikes will have "Look" style pedals. Ask an instructor or other worker at the gym to be sure what they have.

Yes. Only one side is a platform. The other side will still accept an spd shoe.

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.

I think that they can be used with speed play pedals as long as you have the clips. I am using the Shimano SPD-SL PEDALS with cleats.

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.

Short answer, "No." Longer answer, that's really more a function of the pedal and how you've adjusted it, than of the cleats themselves. I bought some cheap Wellgo commuter pedals whiich I use with these cleats, and was generally pleased, but had a couple of unwanted releases at the default setting, I tightened the pedal one turn, and am quite satisfied with the release tension. Your mileage may vary, but it's the pedal, not the cleat, that will define the release characteristics.

Honestly, i bought them. The size didnt match. Im always 41, but these were too small, and didnt have time to send it back to return. So they are in the closet still in the box. Im not professional in bycicles, and not sure what is SPD pedals. Sorry:)

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.

Unfortunately, no. I tried putting a pair of regular, toe-clip bicycle pedals on mine, but of course the pedals won't fit. Platform pedals work reasonably well, but straps/toe clips would help.

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.

You don't need clips, these pedals don't use them. Just use regular shoes, the toe fits into the plastic piece in front and then use the straps to adjust tension. Recommend adjusting tension off the bike, not while riding.

They should fit, depending on shoe type. I wear a size 12 running shose (Brooks at the moment), and have no trouble with a good fit. As others have stated in comments, you probably want to remove the reflectors which, for some strange an unexplainable reason, are mounted on the bottom of the pedal. Besides that, though, these are the only pedals I buy and mount on my road bike anymore. (i keep an extra set, just in case).

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.

I would say yes. Most of the spinning bikes use this type of cleat. I've been to several gyms in different cities and always use these type of cleats. If you already attend the gym, stop by the class and check with the attendees. Just ask someone that has spinning shoes to show you the type of cleat they have or ask the instructor.

You would have to ask the gym: "What type of pedals do the Technogym spin bike have?" They should be able to tell you and then buy the matching cleats. Otherwise you'll be wasting time and money... Good luck...
