Biking Shoe
January 1st, 2010
What are good Biking or Cycling shoes to wear?
I’m wondering, what is a cycling shoe and whats is its significance or qualities of making it a biking shoe? Should i wear gloves when biking? what other accessories do i need?
I was not going to answer this question but the only other reply mentioning skating boots prompted me to help!!
A cycling shoe is roughly divided into two camps: Road and MTB.
A MTB shoe will have a stiff sole to aid power transfer to the pedals, they usually have tread (like a boot or leisure shoe) and they will most often have a cleat recessed into the sole.(so you can walk almost normally).
A Road shoe has a significantly stiffer sole with no tread!
The Cleat that clips into the pedal is a larger three bolt fixing (as opposed to the smaller two bolt MTB cleat).
Walking in a Road shoe is a precarious affair at the best of times! as the cleat is not recessed and just a plastic lump on the bottom of your shoe.
What sort you buy is dependant on the sort of riding you do but once you get used to them – You wont ride a bike without them!
Hope this clarifies things mate.
PS. Can’t really comment on gloves for MTB’s but on a roadbike, they are a must! They help eliminate ‘roadbuzz’ and make your riding more comfortable. Once you start getting into cycling the amount of kit you ‘must have’ multiplies!! Lol.
