I recently bought a pair of Sidi 5 Genius shoes for a bargain price. I mention this because I am on a budget and these shoes are usually dear!

Anyway to save forking out for new pedals and cleats (£60) the local bike shop suggested I put a SPD cleat adaptor (£16) on the Sidi's and use my existing pedals (M520's). Is this a good idea? Anyone used them? Cheers
