One of the nicest things about cycling is that it's generally possible to do it in your normal clothes without spending ages getting changed, or messing around with gadgets and pieces of kit.

Shoes and cleats from different manufacturers are generally interchangeable so you can mix and match your choice of gear. In general, there are two bolt holes recessed in the sole of the shoe, and the cleat attaches to this. However, cleats and clipless pedals are generally sold together and only work in specific combinations - so for these you cant mix and match.
