Keo cleats and Shimano 3 bolt cleats both use the same 3 bolt spacing. However, if you decide to buy shoes designed for 2 hole cleats you will have to buy new pedals which will come supplied with compatible cleats. The beauty of shoes designed for 2 hole cleats is that they are much easier to walk in and most pedals are designed for cleat engagement on both sides. Actually, to start you could even use those 2 bolt shoes with toe clips. Winter shoes designed for 3 bolt cleats could not be used that way because their soles would be destroyed by walking if there was no cleat installed
