Shimano M545 SPD Pedals

[piedwagtail91]

can anyone confirm that these are ok with non spd/ normal shoes/ trainers.
i'm getting a ss mtb for bridleway and towpath riding with my normal spd shoes but may want to ride across town in trainers occaisionally.

Are these the double sided one spd one normal pedal ?
If so they are fine, I have them and wear trainers when pootling with the child and child seat.

yes, they will be ok. They have a removable cage.

The clip protrudes above the level of the cage - you 'can' ride them with flats, but I find the platform to be slippy due to the clip sticking up into your shoe sole and therefore I would certainly suggest thick soles if you do.

I occasionally risk flat shoes for a quick trip to the shops or so, but I really don't them comfortable when riding without spd shoes.

I have the cheaper version of the M545 the M424's and they're OK with normal shoes, they're not ideal but not restrictive to spds either. With SPDs (mine anyway) the spindle/ cleat is directly below the ball of my foot, with normal shoes my feet tend to slide forward slightly so the spindle/popup is under the arch of my foot.

thanks it looks like its the m324.
