Whether you are looking to take your riding up a notch or you have just started out, the right cycling shoes will help you feel comfortable and confident on your bike. Special cycling shoes fit a cleat that clicks into special pedals to give your feet a more direct connection with the bicycle, improving power transfer and allowing you to ride for longer.
Unlike regular shoes, which typically have a toe clip, cycling shoes are stiff and designed to be more streamlined for greater efficiency on the road or in the gym. These features also allow for the insertion of cycling-specific insoles that support the foot, reduce friction and prevent blisters.
The most common closure system on cycling shoes is a ratcheting dial, usually made by BOA, which provides a secure fit and can be adjusted while on the bike for fine-tuning. Some, however, use laces that are lighter, more aerodynamic and offer a bit of flexibility in the toe box for riders with higher arches.
While some cyclists prefer a more rigid sole, which maximizes the transfer of power from your legs to the pedals, other riders simply want comfortable shoes they can wear all day while they ride. There are also shoes that are geared for indoor cycling, with stiffer soles and stable cleat and pedal systems that provide more support for your feet while you ride.
Cycling shoes are not a necessity for every rider, but for those who spend a lot of time on their bikes and/or are training for a race, they can make your experience more enjoyable and increase the chances that you will stick with your cycling routine. Some cycling shoes have a lower price point than others, and some are designed for specific uses.
