How to choose your cycling shoes

Whether you’re cranking on the road, cruising trails, exploring gravel routes that hit somewhere in between, or grinding on an indoor trainer, what’s on your feet can have a major impact on your riding experience. Shoes, after all, are our most critical connection with the bike. That’s why our design team is committed to developing the best technology for all of our footwear categories, so however you ride - your shoes will be ready to go the distance.

Read on for advice to help you select the right shoe for road, gravel or mountain biking.

Road

Offering the most lightweight options and a highly efficient pedaling experience, road shoes excel on smooth and predictable terrain. With fully rigid soles with materials such as carbon, carbon inserts or nylon, and the 3-bolt delta cleat mounting system, this category offers the most power transfer from your legs to the pedals.
