Frequently Asked Questions
Are cycling shoes necessary?
Absolutely. Nothing is going to maximise your comfort on the bike, deliver the best level of performance and protect the wellbeing of your feet like a purpose-designed cycling shoe.
Are cycling shoes worth it?
We all know the feet take a pounding when we run, right? But we don't always think the same about cycling, do we? Well, we should because the level of power that transfers from our feet into the pedals is impressive. And that's a lot of responsibility and strain going into our feet. That's why we cannot downplay the importance of cycling shoes. They help you get the best out of your riding performance, keep you as comfortable as possible, and look after those precious feet that move you around on and off the bike. All that's definitely worth it.
Do all cycling shoes fit all pedals?
No. Mountain bike and road bike shoes typically favour different pedal systems, with the former adopting a mostly two-bolt system and the latter a mostly three-bolt system.
Do cycling shoes come with cleats?
No. Typically you will receive cleats when you buy bike pedals, not bike shoes.
Do cycling shoes stretch?
Your shoes won't stretch lengthways, no. However, depending on the model, there could be a bit of give-and-take with the width of some shoes. If this is a deal-breaker, just contact our friendly team about the model you're considering, and we can advise.
How much toe room in cycling shoes?
You do not want your toes touching the tip of the shoe at any point when you ride. Although you should be able to wiggle your toes a little, you don't want them to have so much room that they are practically sliding around! Allow about 1.5cm between the tip of your toe and the shoe. You might find our bike shoe fit guide a very handy read!
