Although 7400 series pedals work with any appropriately slotted shoe cleat, many riders use them in concert with Shimano's PD-64 cleats (picture below). The PD-64 cleats are designed to mount to the common 3-hole (Look pattern) studs found on nearly all contemporary cycling shoes. Note how the leading edges of the cleat (both the "wings" and center part) are captured by the triangular plate that secures the toe clip to the pedal body. Lateral movement is accordingly limited and many riders find that such front and back engagement provides a more secure coupling of shoe to pedal than other formats.
