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.

No, these are large platform pedals that will not accommodate toe clips. However, velcro straps work perfectly for this type of pedal.

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.

Yes, the SPD will work. Also, the pedals do come with their own cleats as well.

Yes. I use these on my MTN bike. They are very nice pedals. I can run to the store or just take a ride and not have to clip in. If your counting grams then maybe you should be looking for something different.

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.

I'm not exactly sure about your "proper alignment" issue, and the how much shoe fits will depend on the size of your foot, and the shoe you are wearing. I have these clips on both my commuter, and my "go fast" bike. On the commuter, I could be wearing any number of street shoe styles. As I wear a woman's size 8, the shoe generally fits my toes up to the balls of my feet. They work especially well with my running shoes, but are a bit difficult to manage with platform sandels.(ok, not recommended, but I am riding to work after all) Hardcore riders that think only clip on peddles will ever be acceptable will probably be horrified by the thought of these, but for those of us that find the risk of clip-ons far out weigh being acceptable in their eyes. I am thoroughly impressed by the Delta clips, and would recommend them to anyone.

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.

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

Definitely... all clipless shoes can work with different clipless pedals. The pedal you're referring to is a Shimano pedal that uses SPD cleats. All shimano mtn bike pedals use SPD. The shoes do not come with cleats, but the pedals will.

Probably. The left pedals haft has a reverse thread, which may be normal. The pedals are quite comfortable, though I didn't install the straps--this way I can take my feet off easier for just upper body work.

No. This pedal comes with a strap if you do not have the special shoes. It does allow for clip in if you do have the special shoes. SPD cleat would be needed on the shoe

It does not fit "ANY" pedal. I had a set of pedals that it did not fit. I don't know about your particular application but the pedal must have two holes on on side to attach the clip with screws. Some pedals have these holes under a reflector which can be removed so that the clip can be attached and that works well but some pedals have a recess where the reflector mounts and that prevents the clip from attaching correctly. In addition, I have found that for myself these clips are too short and one of them seems to be improperly made so that it forces my foot to point in the wrong direction when pedaling. This is causing some strain on my knee. I have ordered a different set from Avenir which seem to be better made (and are a little more expensive). I have not received them yet so I cannot comment on their quality.

no there is a special model made for toe clip pedals the project fixie ones are good for the price.

These pedal clips don't require clips. These are to be used with any kind of tennis shoe.

If you want a good dual purpose Shimano pedal, I have a set of the Shimano A530 (NOT M530) on my commuter/beater bike. Those pedals have a single entry SPD on one side and a platform on the other for when you wear regular shoes. While the platform isn't huge, it is a bigger surface area then these A530's. If you wanted a dual purpose pedal I'd recommend those. Otherwise there are some pedals with larger platforms and single entry SPD clipless sides to them as well, but those are considerably heavier then the A520s. The PD-M324's come to mind if you wanted that bigger platform pedal.

I bought a size 41 and I also normally wear a women's 8.5. I also bought the Shimano SH51 SPD Cleat Set for $15 and I only use them for indoor cycling. This was the best buy I made for spinning.
