Lidl cycling cleats

straps

Quick question lads.

Anyone ever buy them from lidl? See they are on sale this week n just wondering is it just the shoe or do the pedals come included? Or what type pedals do u need??

Sorry if it's a silly question

Yea I have a pair gathering dust. Just the cleats. Haven't looked into what pedals I should get to use them.

Brian?

Had a look at the website, no sign of cleats but they have shoes. Are you calling shoes cleats the way Americans call football boots cleats?

Haha, I was going by the site too, shows what I know. Would have just called them shoes myself but assumed they knew what they were on about.

You need SPD pedals.

There you are now, the site does call them cleats. They're not though, the cleat is the attachment for the bottom of the shoe that clips into your pedal.

In the case of these shoes they'll only take 2 hole cleats like Shimano spd:

I think if I ever decide to switch from the runners I've been using up to now I'll go to a cycling shop and have a chat with someone who knows what they're talking about.

Has to be all 3 or none. Although any pedals I've ever bought included cleats. Not sure about the ones linked though.

They're not going to tell you any more than I just did. It's fairly straight forward.

Oops. I wasn't suggesting you didn't know what you're talking about so sorry if it came across as such. I just meant that as my purchases so far have left me with a pair of useless shoes I'd be better off exploring options next time round. Still learning about bikes and what have you. The advice is appreciated.

The pedals Brian? linked include a set of cleats. So those + the shoes and you're good to go.

Ah I didn't take offence at all. I was just trying to convey the simplicity of choices. Those shoes you have aren't useless, if you buy some spd pedals they will do the job.

If you pick up a pair of Shimano M520 pedals they will come come with a pair of SPD cleats that fit the LIDL shoes. They work perfectly fine but in my experience the Shimano SH56 multi-release cleats are far easier to clip in and out of. I used the lidl shoes for commuting for about 6 months. My only criticism of the shoes is that the MTB 'grips' are made of plastic and have no grip at all on slippy surfaces. Nearly splatted myself several times coming in and out of my shed.

would the shoes work with keo look pedals?

What cleats do i need?

Brian?

You need shoes that with 3 holes, the look cleats are 3 hole.
