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.

You get a much better work out with clips. they allow you to push and pull with both legs simultaneously. You purchase the clips that fit in the bottom of spinning shoes and attach. spinning shoes are very rigid and are better for the exercise than are regular running shoes, which are too flexible on the bottom.

If you want to use the cleat side of the pedal you would need to buy the spin shoes with cleats. Otherwise, you use the other side of the pedal with straps. You will definitely love spinning way more once you try the cleats!! Well worth it.

I would say they are mostly anti-slip. I don't have to reposition my feet like I did without them on standard pedals, so just that has improved efficiency. I like them a lot for frequent stopping, easy in and out. For me, the upstroke power is limited in tennis shoes just because they don't offer much protection to my big toe nails, which rub on the clip and get sore after many miles, but I find that goes away in a cycling shoe that is more rigid. I honestly forget I have them until I have to stop. I like them a lot.

No. Please note that "clipless" pedals are the pedals in which you clip into the pedal with a cleat on the bottom of your shoe. I know, it sounds weird and wrong, but that's the term for it.

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...

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.

This model has built in toe clips and straps. So clips aren't needed. After using this pedal for a while I don't recommend it except as a cheap replacement with full knowledge that the bearings aren't packed well. I'd look elsewhere.

A lot will depend on your shoes and the type of riding. If you are doing much out-of-the-saddle riding then a strapped clipless may be better, otherwise, if they fit your shoes, then these will be just fine. Be sure to practice getting out of them when you need to and get used to stuffing the toes in securely when jamming uphill and on technical downhills. Safety first. As for the pedals themselves, I prefer metal pedals with good bearings, but I am still using the originals that came with my 1988 Fisher Montare! No suspension for me, so a pedal's gotta be pretty durable on my fat tire bike.

Hi Bonnie. Yes, the pedals come with SPD cleats that will fit on your shoes.

It depends in your pedals. The cleats that come with these shoes are the standard 2 bolt SPD cleats. Many trainers use this type.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

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.

SPD is one of the cleat designs for cycling shoes. As long as you shoes have SPD cleats you can use them.

You can get more 'float' by using a different SPD cleat, but be careful, because some of the SPD cleats are less forgiving than others if you mix the pedals and cleats. An SH-52 *might* give you more 'float', but it could also release easier too. Be careful, as that is your only connection to the pedals, and you can be seriously injured, or even die, if you experiment with the wrong combination! Seriously!
