I started out on SPD-SL. And my shoes can take both 3 hole, and 2 hole cleats, but I just use the 3 hole. I leave an extra pair of shoes at school, so I can change out into regular shoes, but I almost must have clipless for road riding.
I have the smimano R087 i think. Ok shoe for what I paid. I want a pair with the boa lacing for my next pair though
