I've just bought a set of Shimano road pedals, and the bolts that hold the cleats onto the shoes are too short by about 4mm, is there anywhere i can get longer bolts?

Oh the Shoes are Diadora but i can't see that making a difference...
This is why!

    Had the same problem with my Diadora shoes. Shimano makes a slightly longer(13.5 MM)
    bolt than the standard(10 MM). Diadora shoes(and some others) are set up to also
    accept other than 3 bolt systems and this causes the need for longer bolts. Should be able to get them from any bike shop. www.excelsports.com if all else fails.
    It's in the USA.
