help! new clipless pedals and shoes

[jessevan]

I just bought a new bike with clipless pedals, and I also bought a pair of shoes. How do I put the two together? Don't I need to screw something into something else? Because there wasn't any extra pieces in the shoebox. This is my first fancy bike, and I have no idea what I'm doing...I just want to ride it

You should have gotten cleats for the clipless pedals with your bike. These get screwed into your shoes.

Cleats bolt into the soles.

is a sample of what it might look like.
If you want specific help, model numbers of pedals, shoes, etc. helps.
