SPD-R vs Compatibility to New Road Shoes

ABF

I've been running my DMT Ultimax (carbon soles) for a good few years and recently brought an DMT upgrade online (DMT Ultra-Light) being told my current cleats would work.
The problem is my old SPD-R cleats are not compatible. I have raced for years on them and didn't really expect to upgrade pedals as well as shoes.

Does anyone know of SPD-R compatible shoes out there? Link to the pedals and cleats below for clarity.

I used to use SPD-R, but never really liked it and switched to SPD-SL. I'm surprised you can still get the cleats etc as I can't imagine there are many people still using it. I suspect when you said SPD-R they assumed you meant road and were thinking of SPD-SL.

I imagine few shoes, if any, are built to take SPD-R cleats nowadays- perhaps Shimano still make compatible shoes?

I think you're going to struggle to be honest. Personally, I'd say that it is new pedal time...

You could try these, though:

Does the fact that you had to link to Retrobike not answer your question? They're an old solution, time to move on.

I've got the same predicament, I'm using the ZS22r, not a bad shoe for the money all the new spiuk designs seem to be look style only.
