Shoe/Cleat compatibility?
Could not find a section for accessories, also did a search and could not find this question.
I have these shoes https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...551_1084202_-1
And these pedals
https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-PD-570.../dp/B003P10TAC
Will SPD-SL cleats like these
https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-SPD-SL...ef=pd_sim_sg_1
fit into my shoes? I have regular SPD cleats now, but will the SPD-SL cleats fit so I don't have to buy expensive road shoes for my new bike?
All of this is very confusing...thank you someone!

You'll need a 3-hole (Look compatible) road shoe with those pedals/cleats.

No, look at the underside of the shoes in that first link. They are mountain bike shoes and only have 2 holes for cleats. While the cleats require 3 holes. MAYBE with adapters you can make it work. I'd rather just get proper road bike shoes tho.
