They usually go by european size. Since you are new at this, I strongly suggest you get your shoes in person so you can ensure proper fit.

Also, realize that shoes come pre-drilled for 2-bolt "mtb-type" and 3-bolt "road type" cleats. So you should finalize what pedals you choose before you pick your shoes. You can ride MTB shoes/pedals on a road bike if you so desire.
