Just got some free shoes, but am I SOL?
Here are my pedals

and here are my shoes

Does that work? I feel like I'm missing something...

Your Ultegra pedals are road SPD-SL pedals. The Specialized shoes you got are for mountain bike type pedals, and they use different cleats, so they will not work with your pedals. At least, I believe that is the case.

I'm not sure if those are compatable. If I get your problem, you have a pedal that uses the SPD-SL three bolt pattern and shoe with two holes. I know that they make adapters but I think the adapters allow you to use SPD cleats on SPD-SL shoes ( 2 bolt cleats on 3 bolt shoes).
Not sure if you can do that. The road version of the shoe, which would be a comparable price, would have the three bolt pattern.

The shoes would be better, as the road pedals you already have (and some nice ones at that), plus road pedals have a wide platform (they're big) for stability, whereas MTB pedals (i think) are rather tiny.
