Ah that seems a good deal..... Anybody used those shoes....are they any good??

Personally I find Shimano shoes rather narrow, best to try on a pair before buying if you have wide feet...

+1 and I always have to buy a size up

The more I look at those shoes the more i don't like them, I think i'll just get the pedals from merlin and go to a shop were i can try the shoes on before i buy them. thanks for the info though much appreciated!

just about to order these now, but it dosen't actually say they will come with cleats, should I take that as a given?

I would give them a ring and ask, at that price I would think not. Just an opinion and if I am wong then PM and I will order a pair, cleats (with plate) in my LBS are £20

They would have to remove the cleats from the box if they were to not include them.
Cleats should be included, i cant see why they wouldnt be.

Hi guys,

Appologies if this has been asked on here before, was woundering what you guys thort of this pedal, can get a new set delivered from ebay for about £22, I went into Evans today and they recomended this one to me over the more expensive ones....due to this having the ablity to allow your foot to float a little left to right. What you guys think of these, they will be my first set of pedals like this other than the standard flat ones on my bike.

I ride a cross bike by the way.

Thanks!

they are excellent. I've been using them for years on all my road bikes. Two side clip in means easy clip-in which ever side of the pedal is up.

You also have the option of buying a MTB shoe with fully recessed cleats so you can walk normally.

FWIW, I've used them on all my touring and shopping rides for 3 years and they're still going strong. I want them to wear out (mine are grey) as I want a different colour but I'm too mean!

The description is for pedals no mention of cleats or a box for that matter as always 'Caveat emptor'

I have had 4 sets of clipless pedles. All of which came with cleats. I even have M520s, and they came with cleats. It doesnt say on that website they dont come with cleats.
Why would they take the cleats out from the box?
Would you like me to take a picture of the box that M520s come in?

Thats exactly what im thinking SB. Most of the other sites do say if the cleats are included. I'll give them a ring in the morning and find out, will let you know.

I noticed that on wiggle as well, the cleats on there own are going for £20. Seems a hell of a lot just for a little piece of metal, or this must be one hell of a deal if your getting the pedals and cleats for £20

Evans are cheaper then that. What cleats are you looking at? Im sure the SPD ones are only £9 or something like that.
Im wrong
My god, im sure they were cheaper

I think, and I may be wrong, that you can get the cleats with or with the metal retaining plates that fits inside the shoes and before I am lept on from a great height most if not all quality shoes have the plate pre-installed.
