Please help me not make the same mistake twice - which shoes fit these pedals?

I bought my mum a set of Shimano SPD pedals for Christmas (these ones: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/shimano-m324-combination-pedals/rp-prod5937?gs=1&sku=sku19998&pgrid=55940684381&ptaid=pla-397438324727&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mkwid|sHixoXcdk_dc|pcrid|294740729969|pkw||pmt||prd|19998IE&gclid=CjwKCAiArbv_BRA8EiwAYGs23CWqkb41Ht-S72S7W77vLr4rKAsMnVoWfhrXkI6vq68Ub_yGkAKYXRoCjmUQAvD_BwE)

and bought her a pair of shoes that don't fit those pedals.

Would any of these shoes fit the pedals I bought?

The wiggle shoes are mtb shoes and work with spd pedals. Your pedals should have come with 2 bolt cleats that you attach to the shoes. The decathlon shoes are road shoes and are for spd-sl or look pedals. The give away is the 3 bolt pattern on the shoe, which require a 3 bolt cleat. Actually looks like those are for spd also (only read description). I would get the wiggle shoes.

Lovely, thanks very much!

The Decathlon shoes don’t have a recess for your cleats, so while they will take SPD cleats, they would be horrible to walk in. If your mother has a wooden floor they would also destroy it. I would avoid them. The Shimano shoes look much better.
