what cleats for shimano m525 pedals ?

robadub

found these in a box in the shed and thought i would give them a try

just wondering what sort of cleats i need for them as they are quite old pedals ?

also wondering whether i need cleats with a float or not ? basically i have never used clipless pedals before so want whatever will be the easiest to unclip out of

thanks in advance

I've used SH-56 cleats with all the SPDs I've used in the 20 years they have been underfoot. Ebay is probably the best place to look, I've bought cleats for £8 in the past.
You can reduce the tension till you build confidence and the scars have healed.

You'll need this type of cleat:

...with a pair of 'two-bolt' compatible SPD shoes.

Yes but they are an auction. These are a fixed price auction and 50p dearer than the listing you posted.
