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.

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.

According to the Soulcycle website these will fit their bikes. They prefer you to have "Look" cleats but these will work. If you are experienced with cleats/clips, go heavy with resistance then, opt for the "look" or SPD SH-51. These two Lock in better. The SH-56 is easier to clip in and out from the pedal.

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.

the pedals work great for my exercise bike. My bike is a different brand. I have a Schwinn AD2

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

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

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

Yes - the bikes have standard sized pedal threading. I plan to replace the pedals that came with the bikes so I can mount clip/cage combo pedals to accommodate all of my clients.

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.

Not 100% sure but typically the pedal thread sizes are the same except course or fine thread. Not sure if they still use fine threads. They are good pedals seller will refund if they don't fit. I think it is worth a try.

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.

You don't need shoe clips with these pedals. They are set up to use with regular shoes, though a narrow profile cycling shoe will get you into and out of the straps easier. If you have lock in type shoes, you probably want a "clipless" pedal

Yes, Shimano uses a proprietary cleat that works with all of their pedals. If you have Shimano shoes, they will certainly fit the cleat and pedal.

Yes they do. I found these clips a little too confining for my toes. After riding a while my toes would start going numb. I ended up getting the Zefal Christophe mountain bike half toe clips. They have more height between the pedal and the top of the clip. They work much better for my feet. Just my two cents. Good luck.

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

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.
