Not familiar with them but if "underwear" is in the product description, well, sounds to me like they're underwear. Ride on, friend, and tell everyone they're responsible for their own therapy.
As for the cleats--how "cheap" is your bike? By the time you add cleats, shoes and proper pedals, you could easily surpass the worth of the bike. I'm just sayin'.....
How'd I get the confidence to wear the kit? Well, I just put it on and rode. Nothing to it. After 30 yrs of wearing a kit, it isn't any different than wearing any thing else. Having no shame in my body helps too. At 64 years of age, I don't give a rats azz what any one else cares. I dress for comfort and function.
