If I am going to use these for SPD pedals do I need a converter or should I just buy the SPD bike cleats?

If you have a spd pedals & cleats you don't need a converter because it fits on 3 & 2 bolt pattern. Hope this would answer your question.

Honestly, i bought them. The size didnt match. Im always 41, but these were too small, and didnt have time to send it back to return. So they are in the closet still in the box. Im not professional in bycicles, and not sure what is SPD pedals. Sorry:)

I don't believe they will work on your pedals. My pedals have two openings and they work great.

These should use Keo cleats. Your local bike shop should have them. If you bring them the bike (or your old cleats), you can be sure to get the correct model. On line .... good luck. It's not worth the very small savings unless you live far from a shop.

Yes. the pedals are a little flimsy so don't be surprised if you need to replace those immediately. make sure you tighten all nuts and bolts before using. mine all came extremely loose.

No they will need a special shoe. The normal shoe is a lot wider then this pedal. If you are looking to just use normal sneakers some stores sell these clips that you shoe actuall fits in and that is what I had prior to these pedals. I will say that since I have converted to these, I wonder why I did not do this before, they make such a big difference.

I'm not quite sure. I use them with Look style cleats, and its been awhile since I've used a bike at the gym.

Yes they are. When I had these pedals I used the SH56's and my mrs still uses both. If you want better pedals try the Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedals. I have had two pairs of the XLC Alloy MTB/Trekking Pedals and one broke within two weeks. See the mixed reviews Before you buy.

That is the intended purpose of the mtn bike pedal. Although you could use them on almost any type of bike, as long as you have SPD compatible shoes.

Technically yes but they're not very good when used with spd pedals. The cleats move around a lot (much more than a standard float) and unclipping is almost impossible. You'd be much better off with the mountain bike version of these (Shimano SH-M088).

The pedals use different cleats. Look pedals need Look cleats, SPD I think are made by a different company and will not fit Look.

These are a standard pedal size. I would expect them to work on most anything except a cheap kid's bike

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

Yes they will work as in, you will be able to pedal your bike, but it will be very uncomfortable after a short while and you will have very poor grip. These pedals were designed to be used with cycling specific shoes to which you screw the metal spd cleats (hook) that are included with them.

Yes - the Shimano 105 SPD SL pedals come with the SM-SH11 Floating cleats. these are standard with the 105's. the floating cleats allow 6 degrees of side to side float. there are 2 other cleat options out there, the SM-SH10, and SM-SH12. The SM-SH10 cleats are "fixed" which means there is no lateral foot wiggle, and the SM-SH12 allows 2 degrees of float.

You can use any cycling shoe with clips for indoor and outdoor - as long as you have the right clips that work with the pedals - ie Look Delta or SPD

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

I think that they can be used with speed play pedals as long as you have the clips. I am using the Shimano SPD-SL PEDALS with cleats.
