My bike has pedal toes. My sneakers are too wide at the bottom to fit inside the toe straps without kicking and jamming them in while I'm trying to balance. These shoes look narrower. Is there any reason why they won't work in my situation. And what is a 2 hole SPD?

I don't see why not. They look quite sleek and form-fitting through the toe-box (slimmer than sneakers, definitely), so they should fit inside your toe-clips. For the money, though, these shoes would be best used as a part of a pedal upgrade to clipless pedals, too. A "two hole" SPD refers to the bolt-pattern used to mount the cleat to the shoe when using clipless pedals. The 2-hole pattern is used more often in Shimano's mountain bike pedals and uses a smaller platform, as opposed to the 3-bolt pattern, which is road bike specific.
