    Would appreciate advise on which pedals/cleats I need to purchase to match these shoes? I'm a bit confused by the choices and want to ensure they all fit each other :confused:
    Would like something easy to get the hang of as it will be my first time using clipless. If they are on crc so I can place one order that would be great too.

    There are two types of shoes/pedals, road ones which the cleats (spd-sl) are exposed from the shoe and are pretty much unwalkable and the mtb/commuting shoes (spd) which the cleats are recessed in the sole and you can walk normaly. Are you going to use the shoes/pedals for commuting? If so, I would probably go for the spd type.

    I don't plan on commuting on it, it will be for hopefully joining a club for spins and maybe getting into it a bit more.
    Will any spd-sl pedals fit those shoes? It says fit spd or look keo but nothing about spd-sl. Apologies for my ignorance of the subject!
    Would like to order the 3 bits :confused: I.e shoes, cleats and pedals together.

    Bike is a giant avail 2 (ladies defy) and I plan to use it for sport :) all going well

    These are proper road shoes and you can definitely not use spd cleats on them. Depending on budget now you can start from these pedals http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5369 and work your way up to these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=95073 if you like. The cleats are specific to the pedals and come with them, so you don't have to buy anything extra. A very good pedal to start would be this one: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28263

    Thanks Astramanti, I ordered the shimano spd sl pedals, used the group scheme code and got 10 euro for the lot off :)...
