Indoor cycling shoes are designed with stiff soles to provide a better connection between your foot and the pedal. They also have specific cleats that clip into the pedal, which can help with power transfer and overall performance.

• What type of cleats do indoor cycling shoes use?

    Indoor cycling shoes typically use SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) cleats, which are compatible with most indoor cycling pedals.

• Do I need to buy a specific brand of shoes for my indoor cycling class?

    No, there are many brands and types of indoor cycling shoes available. It's important to choose a shoe that fits well and is comfortable for your foot.

• Can I wear regular athletic shoes instead of cycling shoes?

    While it is possible to use regular athletic shoes in an indoor cycling class, you may experience slipping and less efficient pedaling. Indoor cycling shoes provide a more secure and efficient connection to the pedal.

• How do I know if indoor cycling shoes fit properly?

    Indoor cycling shoes should fit snugly, with no slippage or rubbing on the foot. Some brands may run smaller or larger than others.

• Can I use indoor cycling shoes for outdoor cycling as well?

    Yes, many indoor cycling shoes are also suitable for outdoor cycling. However, keep in mind that the stiff sole of indoor cycling shoes may not be as comfortable for walking.
