Cycling Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best shoes to wear for spinning?

The best spin shoes provide both comfort and performance during your workout. A key feature to look for is a stiff sole to transfer more power to the pedals, making your workout more efficient. Look for shoes that are compatible with the cleats used in your spinning studio. Spinning can be a sweaty activity, so shoes with breathable uppers will help keep your feet cool and dry. The shoes should also have good grip on the bike, even when you're sweaty.

Do you need spin shoes for spin class?

You don't necessarily need specific spin shoes for a class, but it depends on a few factors. First, most spin studios use bikes with clip-in pedals, requiring shoes with compatible cleats for maximum efficiency and power transfer. Regular sneakers won't work here. Some studios offer bikes with toe cages, allowing you to use regular sneakers with straps for grip. (Check with your studio beforehand.) For the occasional class, regular sneakers might be OK — but expect less efficiency and comfort.

Is there a difference in cycling shoes?

Yes — different types of cycling require different kinds of shoes. Road cycling shoes have the stiffest soles for efficient pedalling. They're lightweight for faster performance, and they use a cleat system for secure connection to pedals. Mountain bike shoes offer grip and protection on rough terrain. They may be cleated for clipless pedals, or flat with grippy soles for platform pedals. Like road shoes, indoor cycling shoes have stiff soles and cleat compatibility. They typically have breathable mesh uppers for intense indoor workouts, plus shorter cleat options to minimise the risk of damage to indoor bikes.
