Hello all,
Just a quick question. When I bought my bike there were no pedals, so I put some cheapy ones on there.
Now I want to get some proper pedals. There are Shimano, look etc.etc.
If I were for example going to buy Shimano pedals, do I then only buy shimano shoes, and the same for look cleats. Do look cleats only fit with look shoes, or do the shoes come with clips that can fit on different designs of cleat?

I had the same dilemma. I've just bought some pedals and shoes from different websites, delivered today so I'll update tomorrow on just how compatable they are.
I bought the Shimano R540 pedals. The shoes are triathlon specific by Gaerne and from the Wiggle website. The product description stated that my shoes were 'compatable with most pedals/cleats'. Given that shimano are a major producer I've assumed they will fit. When the shoes actually arrived I could tell from the bottom that they are manufactured to fit a variety of different cleat systems so I'm confident they'll work but I guess there must be some shoes out there that will only work with certain systems.
As I said above, the pedals were only delivered today so I could be writing a dissappointed update tomorrow.
After abit of fiddling around with the cleats they fit the shoes. I just have to fit the pedals to the bike in time for Thursday's AM ride.
Good luck with your search.
Made me laugh your post yesterday. good to hear they fit, best I get me some of them darn things now.
Now if I can sort out the three legs to be as fast....
