Mayze MIS Womens Sneakers, indoor cycling shoes have come a long way in the last few years and the good news is, ladies, this article is for you! “Finally!”, I hear you gasp. Yes, women’s specific indoor bike shoes are well represented in the market and we’ve got all the information right here to help you research your next, or Sale first-ever, pair.

What are indoor cycling shoes

Indoor cycling shoes are, as the name suggests, made specifically for indoor biking and spin classes. These shoes have a special clip on the outsole - known as a cleat - that the biker will clip into the pedal, using a similar system to ski boots.

By being clipped into the pedals the biker can then focus on their pedaling technique and aim to maximize power output without fear of their foot slipping off the pedal. Additionally, many women love that bike shoes allow them to work on their calf muscles by ‘pulling up’ on the pedal stroke rather than just ‘pushing down’.

Sneakers vs indoor cycling shoes for women

Avid bikers have understood the benefits of cycling-specific shoes for years and as the popularity of indoor cycling increases each year it’s only natural that this crosses over to those of us that enjoy our spin classes and Peloton rides.

So are cycling shoes just a fad? Are they even required for indoor cycling? Well, it depends on who you ask. If you ask me, in my experience the rule of thumb is this:

If you enjoy indoor cycling then you will probably benefit from investing in equipment like padded shorts and cycling shoes. They will make your workout more comfortable and more efficient. And the fitter you get, the fitter you want to get. It’s a beneficial snowball effect.

Sneakers are great as a starting point for indoor cycling. Use them on a standard pair of flat pedals and start pedaling, not a worry in the world. But if you find that indoor cycling is becoming more and more part of your weekly lifestyle then perhaps it’s time to move on from the floppy sneakers and invest in some cycling shoes with hard soles. If you’re going to be putting out the RPM’s you might as well make them count, and cycling shoes are known to improve power output (wattage).

Renting spin shoes

Some facilities offer to rent out indoor cycling shoes to their female clients and that’s a great idea if you’re just getting started. But renting isn’t a great long-term idea. After three tries, it’s time to make the decision: Either you’re purchasing your own indoor riding shoes or you’re going to stick it out with regular sneakers.

Each decision is personal and sport, including cycling, is more than a pair of shoes. If you don’t want to wear cycling shoes there’s nothing wrong with that; do what suits you. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of your specific situation, and act accordingly.

Four characteristics of women-specific cycling shoes

Although indoor cycling isn’t a weight-bearing activity, good shoes still need to fit properly. In x Solomon Bamba 2 Low sneakers Grey, researchers confirmed what most women already knew: “female feet differ in size and shape from male feet and are not algebraically scaled, smaller versions of male feet, as is often assumed.

To the untrained eye, there may not be a lot of difference between men’s and women’s cycling shoes. They look basically the same and yet some are labeled women-specific. Here’s why:

Width Last shape
Women’s cycling shoes tend to be narrower - especially in the heel - relative to their length, to match the female foot.

The mold of women’s cycling shoes, known as the shoe last, are generally formed for a female-specific shaped foot. Women’s shoes have narrower lasts and shorter heel cups.

Volume Color
Women’s cycling shoes tend to have less overall volume. Women’s cycling shoes often come in different (often better) colorways. Like it or not, marketing has a lot to answer for here. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way from just a pink option for women and the color options keep rapidly improving each season.

That being said, if the indoor cycling shoes you’ve got your eye on aren’t labeled women-specific you’ll also likely see that they’re equally not men-specific either. Many of the world's best women bikers prefer to wear “men’s” (or non-gender specific) cycling shoes, so you’re in good company! As always, wear what works for you.

Understanding the various pedal systems

To the untrained eye, it’s easy to believe there are thousands of different types of bicycle pedals, something only a bike mechanic could possibly understand. Wrong! Actually, it’s much simpler: there are really only three basic types of pedals split amongst many thousands of different models. 

The following table breaks down the most likely pedals that you’ll see on an indoor bike, and in plain language explains what the differences are. Use this table to correctly identify which shoes you need to use on your indoor bike.

Note: Pedals are not gender specific, they are the same for everyone.

Type

Description

Suitable shoes

Flat pedals

These are just like the pedals you’ll see on any regular bicycle, from kids to adults these are the industry standard. There’s nothing more simple than flat pedals and the name says everything you need to know: They have a flat platform and will accommodate nearly any shoe. Just hop on and ride.

Sneakers

NMD_R1 STLT PK Shoes

Often they look like a regular flat pedal but with some additional accessories attached - a clip that looks like a cage at the front for the toe of the shoe to sit in, and some straps that wrap around the shoe. The straps normally can be tightened around the shoe according to the biker's preference, but the toe clips and pedals are normally ‘one size fits most’.

These help keep the biker’s shoe attached to the pedal without requiring specific shoes.

Sneakers

Clip-in pedals /Clipless pedals

These are the special type of pedals that are designed to accommodate the cleat on cycling shoes. Clip-in pedals do require cycling shoes with cleats to match the pedals attached.

Because they don’t have the straps or clips (mentioned in the pedal type above), clip-in pedals are sometimes, somewhat confusingly, also referred to as ‘clipless pedals’. Don’t be concerned by the jargon, they’re the same thing.

Cycling shoes

Bike-specific types

Some indoor bike brands, for reasons beyond comprehension, will have their own style of pedal built into the bike. The pedal can’t be serviced, it can’t be replaced and won’t fit on anything aside from that particular bike. 

For that reason, these are the most annoying, but fortunately least common, type of pedals on the market.

Sneakers

Now that you know about the different types of bicycle pedals you’re likely to come across, you’ll also want to know what the difference is between the clip-in pedal types. Let’s drill down on that and take a closer look:

Understanding cleat systems for beginners

New Balance Womens WS237FD Sneakers in Night Air.

Levis Sneakers Bambino Blu In Materiale Sintetico materie Tessili Con Chiusura Stringata two-bolt cleats Levis Sneakers Bambino Blu In Materiale Sintetico materie Tessili Con Chiusura Stringata three-bolt cleats

Suits only shoes with a two-bolt cleat pattern in the outsole. The cleats are often metal.

This is often referred to as the ‘SPD system’.

Suits only shoes with a three-bolt cleat pattern in the outsole. The cleats are often plastic. 

This is often referred to as the ‘Look Keo’ (simplified to ‘Keo’), ‘Look Delta’ (‘Delta’), or ‘Shimano SPD-SL’ (‘SPD-SL’)* system (with slightly different types of cleats for each).

*Don’t confuse the SPD-SL (three-bolt) system with the SPD (two-bolt) system.

spd-2-holes.png look-delta-3-holes.png

Note that some (albeit not many) cycling shoes have both the two-bolt cleat pattern and three-bolt pattern integrated to accommodate virtually any pedals available. Here’s hoping more manufacturers go down this path in the future, but until then regular indoor bikers like you and I should be aware that’s currently the exception, not the rule, and consider this when making the next shoe purchase.

If you find yourself with shoes that have the wrong bolt pattern for your pedals then fear not, shoe conversion adapters are available to ensure you can get the correct cleats installed and spinning up some RPM PR’s ASAP.

Changing the pedals to match your shoes

Some facilities may even have staff willing to switch out the pedals for you, or Sale you have spoken to one of the managers and are approved to do this yourself. This is a task that is actually quite easy to do and usually requires a 15mm spanner or an 8mm hex key, depending on the pedal brand and model.

To remove pedals:

  • The right pedal (known in cycling circles as the ‘drive side’, simply because that's where the chain and gears normally sits) is removed by turning the tool counter-clockwise;
  • The left pedal is reverse-threaded, so it loosens by turning clockwise. 

To install pedals:

  • The right pedal tightens by turning clockwise;
  • Saucony Mens Jazz Original Sneakers in Dark Grey Navy. 

As with all gym etiquette, don’t forget to replace the pedals such that you leave the equipment as you found it - ready for the next person.

Buying tips

  1. Identify your pedals: Start by checking which pedals you will be using (use our ‘Mamba Fury Mens Shoes’ table, above) and then consider what cleat pattern you need (refer to the ‘Sandals MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS Mallory Thong 40S1MAFA2L Black for Beginners’). Cross reference this information with the cycling shoe of your choice. Be sure they’re a match.
  2. Choose the right size: Cycling shoes are deliberately designed to have a stiff sole to maximize power transfer through the pedals. For comfort and stability your cycling shoes should be snug on each side plus at the heel, without being overly tight. You should have just enough room in the toe box so that you can wiggle your toes, but your toes should not be touching the front of the shoes.
  3. Consider breathability: Airflow is critical for indoor biking activities and a pair of hot and clammy shoes can make a fun spin session an uncomfortable chore, and when it comes to chores we want less in our lives, not more! Make sure your indoor cycling shoes can breathe as much as you do when you’re out of the saddle and punching over that hill.

Frequently asked questions about indoor cycling shoes for women

Why do brands call them ‘indoor cycling shoes’ instead of ‘spinning shoes’?

That’s a fair question and the answer may not surprise you. The words Spin, Spinner, Spinning, and Spin Fitness are each individually registered trademarks of a Californian company named Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc [2].

Manufacturers need to be careful they don’t infringe upon those legally protected terms, so they are forced to use more generic terms such as ‘indoor cycling’.

Nike React Miler 2 Mens Road Running Shoes Brown?

Yes, absolutely - there is definitely no rule to say you can’t or shouldn’t. Because of their breathability indoor cycling shoes might actually be a wonderful choice for outdoor biking in summer. Depending on your climate that may not be the case so much in winter. If you really enjoy cycling, a pair for indoor and a pair for outdoor biking may just complement each other beautifully.

Of course, just be sure that your outdoor bike has the pedals to suit your shoes (see our easy-to-read Mamba Fury Mens Shoes table above).

Are indoor cycling shoes good for women like me who want better calves?

Have you ever seen a cyclist with bad calves? Didn’t think so. Indoor cycling is a great activity for women seeking more defined and toned calves. And cycling shoes allow you to really engage your calves when they ‘pull up’ on the pedal stroke. Like anything in life, results come from hard work and time… but your gastrocnemius will love you for it in the long term! 

Kids Arizona double-strap sandals Grau?

Out-of-the-box Peloton uses a three-bolt ‘Delta’ system on their pedals, the same system for both Bike and Bike+ models [3]. Any cycling shoes with the three-bolt cleat pattern will be suitable for the Peloton bike.

And yes, you can change pedals on a Peloton bike if you like.

What cycling shoes do I need for Zwift?

The beauty of indoor cycling apps such as Zwift is that it is effectively app-only product, thus you can use whatever hardware you want. Your own bike with your own pedals on your own trainer. Or Sale a dedicated indoor smart bike. 

To answer the question, you can use whatever cycling shoes you want on Zwift. As always, just make sure they suit your bike’s pedals.

Louis Vuitton Is Opening an Ugly Shoe Pop-Up?

Assuming you’re using them exclusively for indoor cycling, expect your shoes to last years. The nature of the activity is such that the wear and tear, particularly when compared to say running shoes, is minimal.
