My wife used to ride at a spin place and used these shoes. We bought a stationary bike for home as she doesn’t have time to go to the place anymore/we moved far away from it. However, the stationary bike only has regular pedals and she can’t clip the shoes in. I don’t know anything about this, but want to get her some pedals for christmas so she can clip her shoes in again. I was reading that there were different types? I don’t know what makes them different or what kind of pedals to get. Any advice is appreciated!

SPD pedals – make sure not to get SPL-SL, just 2 bold SPD.

any mountain bike pedals.
those are spd cleats, but every pair of mtb pedals i’ve ever bought has come with cleats in the box, so if you want a different system than spd you can undo those bolts and screw in the new cleats that come with your pedals.
just don’t get road bike pedals, you need something with a two-bolt cleat.

I’d get crank brothers pedals for her. They disengage more easily (which is what you want if you’re learning) They come with cleats you can swap into those shoes very easily.
And, bonus, they make the shoes a little easier to walk in.

Shimano PD-EH500 is clipped on one side of the pedal & the other side is flat for reg shoes … in case you or anyone else with reg shoes wants to ride.
I don’t know what your price budget is, but decathlon has a version of it at40% less. The decathlon’s pedals are part of their Van Rysel line so the quality will be good. And if it’s for a spin bike, you probably won’t need anything too fancy

The answer to most SPD Questions is our lord and saviour, the Shimano PD-m520

Shimano PD-M324 is a good choice, it’s clipless on one side and flat on the other.
