Shimano XTR PD-M970 SPD MTB Pedal
Shimano XTR PD-M970 SPD MTB Pedal

These are three great clipless companies and I have raced road and mtb with all. If you are doing a spinning class the shimano XTR PD's are the way to go. Most of the bikes are SPD compatible and you wont have to mess around with an allen screw set before class. Personally I use the same road type cycling shoe for both road and mtb but thats just my preference. If you want a more walker friendly/ camp cycle shoe they already hit the nail on the head with making sure the cleat is recessed in the shoe. Note: If you buy a recessed shoe only SPD cleats will fit in that shoe not any of the popular road brands.

I ride the nike and specialized carbon soled shoes which the styles change monthly just like normal shoes but you can't complain when you get them free.

You also just like with anything on the bike be measured properly and set the screws properly. lock tite! There are tons of charts and schools of thought on the subject best you go with which doesn't hurt.

Now that you have my advice you better not be spinning any of that techno SH@T in the spin room you greasers are giving us manly bikers a bad name.

Also note: it is better to look good dropped off the back then bad at all.
