How To Choose The Right Cycling Shoes - A Buyer's Guide
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Road or MTB shoe? Laces or straps? In this video, Simon talks through some of the main features to consider when buying your next pair of cycling shoes. http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN Just like most cycling equipment, there's a ton of choice out there when picking out footwear. Firstly, work out if most of your riding is on the road or off-road. Mountain bike shoes have grippier soles that are more suited to walking around in. Road shoes have a stiff, smooth sole which is better suited to transferring power. The stiffer the sole, the better the power transfer (so the theory goes). The most expensive shoes on the market will be super-light, often with a full carbon sole, with a natural leather upper - the Fizik shoes we were checking out were kangaroo leather. Of course, the most important thing is how well your shoe fits - comfort comes from a nice, snug fit and a bit of ventilation that doesn't let too much cold air in.

So, I'd like to pick up some MTB shoes but would like to run SPD-SL cleats. Is there a way to do this? I completely understand that this is wrong. However, I'd like to also pick up the Garmin Vector 2 and it's only available for road shoe cleats. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Man i love this channel. No matter what question i type into youtube, you guys always have a video for it!
-
well pointed out re white shoes Si. You should also point out that black shoes are the most ridiculous and dorkish item ever due to their similar appearance of normal shoes. Keep it up!!

is look keo cleats compatible with chicano sh r200 shoe?
-
Is there any performance difference between road and cross shoes when I ride a road bike? I mean power transfer and so on.
I have cross ones for my road bike, they have hard sole and work pretty well for me. -

-

-
what's the best shoes for road biking that doesn't use clips

white+

I wear custom sports orthotics: should I wear them with road shoes?
-
what about shoes without cleats?
-
I disagree. I much prefer the 4 screw system on my road bike and I see many people doing it. Endurance shoes will do the trick and the walk to the cafe (or the stairs to my office) will be much easier. :)
-
So what shoes do I buy for the Crossfire 2 bicycle. Regular pedals as I am a beginner to everyday cycling.
Thanks in advance! -
agony is buying these shoes and you are afraid of falling together with the bike.
-
how can I adjust my cleats to my shimano cycling shoe? pedalsystem is the shimano ultegra.. greets from Germany!
-
Noob question: are there any good data on how much of a performance difference cycling shoes make vs. regular running shoes? It seems inconvenient to carry an extra pair when commuting, and cost is obviously a factor as well, so I'm not sure if it's a justifiable purchase for me or not.

Why do I feel slower with cycling shoes?
-
White shoes! <3
I use MTB shoes since I can walk or go to the gym after cycling with it. -
This was so helpful. Thank you!!
