TeamCyclist: Different Types of Cycling Shoes

In this article presented by TeamCyclist, we will tackle the most important gear: the cycling shoes. There are many types of cycling shoes designed for various kinds of cycling. Knowing the difference and similarities between each type is important.

Cycling shoes have many great purposes. One of which is power. The durability of a pair of cycling shoes gives your feet extensive power that you need in cycling. Another is protection. Your cycling shoes serve as your feet’s shield against scratches, blisters, and other kinds of trauma. Lastly, comfort can be achieved with a nice pair of cycling shoes. Comfort is necessary especially when you track on long roads. Below are the different types of cycling shoes:

• Casual Cycling Shoes – This type of cycling shoes are designed for beginners or those who consider cycling as leisure. But being a standard cycling shoe it does not necessarily mean that it does not perform well. Casual cycling shoes are very comfortable to wear allowing the cyclist to flexibly use his feet. It also has a good grip to pedals which would make cycling (and walking) for novices easier.

• Road Cycling Shoes – The special feature of this type of cycling shoes is speed. Road Cycling Shoes are designed to give optimum stability of your feet while pedaling. The fitting keeps the feet firmly in place so sliding on pedals is prevented. The top part of the shoes was made breathable so your feet can have proper ventilation. There are cleats attached on the bottom of the shoes to have a good grip of the pedals. Most Road Cycling Shoes are not detachable to their cleats which make it non-ideal for walking.

• Off-road Cycling Shoes – This type is also called Mountain Biking Shoes. Off-road cycling involves passing through numerous and irregular terrains which are very difficult to pedal on. Off-road cycling shoes have smaller cleats and stud linings on the soles. It provides grater grip on the pedals and also are great for mountain hiking. It also is very comfortable because of the rubber soles with tread patterns. The curve at the ball of the foot transfers power from the ball part to the toes part.

• Downhill Cycling Shoes – The Downhill Cycling Shoes is similar to Off-road Cycling Shoes when it comes to comfort and function. However, since downhill cycling is more dangerous and radical than all other types, downhill cycling shoes comes with toe caps which protect the toes from injuries. Risky stunts are often performed in downhill cycling which makes cyclists prone to ankle twisting and sprains. Downhill Cycling Shoes prevents this from happening. When in the verge of crashing down, you can easily detach your feet from the pedals because the bottoms of soles are flat.

These are the different types of cycling shoes. You can either choose one which is best for the type of cycling you do, or own every type there is for more challenging adventures. Know more about cycling shoes from quality brands by visiting TeamCyclist.
