I am really confused and wonder if anyone out there can help please.
I have recently purchased from Wiggle shimano sandals SH-SD65.
I have looked at the instructions and the cleat fiitings look exactly the same as the ones I fitted to my existing Pearl Izumi shoes.
However I was disconcerted by one of the notes which reads "These SPD sandals cannot be used with SPD/SPD-R/SPD-SL pedals for road use"
The pedals I have are Shimano PD A520 Touring Pedals
Do I have a problem?
All thoughts much appreciated.

The Shimano A520 pedal should fit the Shimano Sandal, it looks more different than it actually is
Shimano M520
Shimano A520
Both those pedals use the same cleat so should fit as below, I have used the A520 with an ATB shoe and that is even deeper.
Where as SPD-R/SPD-SL are not, these are designed for race bike styled shoes where the cleat is not recessed
SPD R
SPD SL
They are used with shoes like:
