Hi, got a pair of northwave mirage shoes on the cheap but having never had road shoes before i'm a little confused regarding the cleat setup. These shoes come with look adaptor plates.
Now as far as i can tell these are necessary for spd and not look clipless, is this so? The sole of the shoe has four screw points in a diamond shape which can be used to attach the so called 'look' adaptor plate but can the top 3 be used to screw in a look cleat without using the plate??
Obviously i'd try myself but i dont want to dish out for look cleats to find that they won't fit.

It seems i blundered. The shoes i've got are spd only, fine, preferable in fact but again not knowing about road ranges will these:
got your local shop and get someone to set the cleat up on the shoe if set wrong you can develop pain in your knees and feet a proper fit on a road bike is absolutly needed for a good quality experence on a road bike
