You'll need shoes with three bolt holes; another words road shoes for road cleats such as Shimano spd etc. Some road shoes have only 3 holes in triangular Look style pattern and some with both 3 and 2 hole but all the mtb shoes I know of only have 2 holes for 2 bolt mtb cleats such as egg beaters. Even if mtb shoes have 3 holes with higher treads of mtb shoes it probably wouldn't work. Although it is not common you can use eggbeater pedals with your road bike if you are used to using them especially if you don't wanna invest in new road shoes. I use egg beaters on one of my road bike (rain/winter bike) that I ride with my mtb shoes since my cx bike and mtbs I have egg beater/candy pedals.
