Dear Wise TE Women,

I want to change my current bike shoes (touring shoes - shoes I can walk in for quite a bit) for more rigid, racy ones. I currently have regular SPD pedals and cleats. I am not totally certain that I want to change them, and buying both an excellent pair of shoes _and_ new pedals seem a bit of an investment right now. So is it possible to first put SPD cleats on my new shoes and eventually change to, say, Look Keo cleats? Or Candy cleats? Without damaging the carbon sole? I've never taken the time to inspect other people's cleats so I am not sure about how this would work.

Thanks for your help!
