Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Pretty much any road shoe that has three cleat mounting holes will fit Look cleats (and most other road pedal brands for that matter.)

MTB shoes will NOT work.

Not everyone loves Look pedals, but they're probably the most common pedals you'll see on road bikes. I have Look 396 pedals and like them, but the only comparison I have is with my Shimano SPDs I have on my MTB.

Yes, that shoe is compatible with the LOOK pedal system. In the description it states: Adapter free compatibility with all mainstream pedal systems. Most new pedals do include the cleat. I have used LOOK and Shimano pedals and they have both included the cleats.

I am not sure how Vittoria does their sizing. I ALWAYS buy my shoes local to ensure I get the correct size.

Yea it would suck to get the wrong size shoe...

I would pick them up at a LBS to be on the safe side

Wrong.
The keo pedal only takes the keo cleats and the rest take their own look cleat.

Maybe...But I have Red Look cleats on both of my pairs of shoes and they both clip into the 5.1 and the 296 pedals that I have.
