hello everyone, hope someone can help me out here...im a total new dad on the block here so Im hoping someone can help me out. I have just bought a pair of adidas plush mtb shoes which r spd. the problem is they have a moulded sole with no screw holes. They do have a section inside where the screws can enter but my dilemma is...how on earth do i fit the cleats to them...r u supposed to just screw through the sole? Id love anyone to be able to help me with this....nap...ps there is a picture of a pair of these shoes oon this website but the sole looks totally different to mine.

you need to remove the bit of the sole that is covering the mounting face.

Post up a picture of the sole of YOUR shoes.

nick louise your a star...its the bottom picture where u say it needs cutting off...do i cut all around the hexagonal shape or just the protruding tread?
p.s. sorry bout the double post.

follow the grove. but at a guess Lift the front bit and it should just pull off.

there is normally instructions with Cycle shoes and maybe a sticky patch to cover the threaded bit inside the shoe under the insole.

So I'm assuming you could wear shoes such as that on a flat pedal ? "Nick Louise"?

They come off quite easily when you cut your mum's apron strings.
