Bought my first bike since I was a kid. Know nothing about Cycling
Second hand bike off a mate came with clip in pedals ready attached
Bought a set of road cycling shoes
Bought a set of cleats off Amazon
I CANNOT clip in with the shoes but can clip the cleats on their own.
It seems the shoes are restricting clipping in somewhat?
Can anyone see what's wrong - is it the cleats, the shoes or the pedals?

Undone it to the point the bolt fell out. Somethings not right!Originally Posted by The Bloop
I’ll see if any of my mates got some spare shoes I can borrow and work it out
I notice that they are Boardman pedals but Shimano cleats. They should be compatible but may not be perfect. Boardman do their own cleats which are a different design.
I now realise that the bolt has now knackered the mechanism too.. Great!
Just confirming that cleats and pedals are not universal fits.
You need to identify the make of pedals before getting the cleats.
If you live in Cardiff, I may be able to help. I've stopped cycling and have some step-in pedals and cleats I'm not using....
Setting the right angle of the cleats is important. If they are not correctly fitted, it can cause all sorts of knee probs.
I see you have found the cycling uk forum, someone there will have an answer.
Looks like I've knackered the pedals anyway so back to square one
Bloody complicated!
