Yes and no...How's that for a definitive answer?

Shimano makes both road and mountain clipless pedals. Then you have other brands each requiring it's own specific cleat. To the best of my knowledge you could mount road cleats on mountain type shoes and vice versa. I believe the cleat mounting points on the shoes are pretty much universal.
