As far as I'm aware, the shoe covers are only for cycling shoes. They have a little hole at the bottom for the cleat to clip in, and that's it. You don't have to get cycling shoes. I road my bike for the longest time with regular pedals and tennis shoes. I would double up on socks when it was really cold out though and that usually helped, but it's nothing like having the actual shoe covers, they're amazing in how warm they keep your feet.
