No, cleats usually don't come with shoes. They are included with
pedals.

If you have Shimano brand pedals, get the Shimano brand cleats. The
SPD clone cleats (Wellgo, typically) don't work as well with Shimano
pedals.

Okay....that must be a loaded question....I think I'm going to cycle while
in sandals...is there a reason NOT to do that? The reason I want to is that
at about 60 miles on a hot day, my feet give me hell. My shoes have just
enough play in them to let my foot slip around, so after the miles build up
my feet hurt. Frankly, I had to cut my ride short yesterday just because of
this...so sandals seem like a good option since my toes would be free....
