Hello mate, I think there are no compatability problems between Shimano shoes and Crank Brothers cleats so you should be okay. I have a mate who used to have a Shimano MT20 shoes/Eggbeater combo and they were okay if I recall correctly. There is one issue that you may wish to consider and that is that Shimano shoes are made on a narrow 'last' which some folk seem to think can cause 'hot foot' discomfort on a reasably long ride. I myself wear Specialised Body Geometry shoes (both Road and MTB) and can vouch for the comfort they give. Try before you buy if you can.

I have had crank bros cleats on Shimano 'SPD' branded shoes. Before I left them on a train. Don't leave yours on a train!

But yes they work fine, even if it seems a bit wrong
