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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, no. I tried putting a pair of regular, toe-clip bicycle pedals on mine, but of course the pedals won't fit. Platform pedals work reasonably well, but straps/toe clips would help.

Yes. I use these on my MTN bike. They are very nice pedals. I can run to the store or just take a ride and not have to clip in. If your counting grams then maybe you should be looking for something different.

Shimano uses the shape of a SPD cleat molded into the pedal, so actually you clip it in as you would with a SPD footwear. I hope this helps. Good luck!

You don't need clips, these pedals don't use them. Just use regular shoes, the toe fits into the plastic piece in front and then use the straps to adjust tension. Recommend adjusting tension off the bike, not while riding.

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

You would need to get clip less pedals put on the spin bike for your shoes work, but yes can be done.

I bought a size 41 and I also normally wear a women's 8.5. I also bought the Shimano SH51 SPD Cleat Set for $15 and I only use them for indoor cycling. This was the best buy I made for spinning.

In the past, I have found that all the spd pedals are compatible. I didn't change the cleats when I started using this pedal. They were a little tight at first but I backed off on the adjuster and they work fine. This one's the best spd road pedal I have tried.

If you want a good dual purpose Shimano pedal, I have a set of the Shimano A530 (NOT M530) on my commuter/beater bike. Those pedals have a single entry SPD on one side and a platform on the other for when you wear regular shoes. While the platform isn't huge, it is a bigger surface area then these A530's. If you wanted a dual purpose pedal I'd recommend those. Otherwise there are some pedals with larger platforms and single entry SPD clipless sides to them as well, but those are considerably heavier then the A520s. The PD-M324's come to mind if you wanted that bigger platform pedal.

Yes, the shoes work fine for indoor spinning or outdoor biking. Just make sure you buy the clips to attach to the bottom of the shoes

They should fit, depending on shoe type. I wear a size 12 running shose (Brooks at the moment), and have no trouble with a good fit. As others have stated in comments, you probably want to remove the reflectors which, for some strange an unexplainable reason, are mounted on the bottom of the pedal. Besides that, though, these are the only pedals I buy and mount on my road bike anymore. (i keep an extra set, just in case).

I think the pedals are a little too small for normal shoes but the pedals are still flat do I don't see why not. Matter of personal preference I suppose!!!

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.
