  Making any major purchase requires trained knowledge. Picking out spinning shoes is no different. Spinning shoes are a somewhat specialized product.

As beginners, I suggest shopping at a bike shop that specializes in fitting biking shoes. Employees should be well trained on fitting techniques and proper fit. It's nowhere near as simple as going in to buy a pair of tennis shoes. A trained staff is a great resource. Considering the amount of hours you will spend in your spinning shoes, it's well worth it to ensure you get a shoe that fits. Just like buying running shoes or any other shoe, you end up trying on several pairs of spinning shoes before you end up with one that feels perfect for you. Some are narrow, some are wide, some fit too loosely, some run too big or too small, etc. In this respect, it is no different than buying other pairs of shoes. There will be slight differences in all of them.

 

 

 

Bring socks with you that would be just like the socks you wear when when at your spin workout. Don 't try to fit spinning shoes with your work socks or any other sock that wouldn 't be typical of what you'll wear. This may seem extremely basic, but you would be amazing how many people take back biking shoes because they say they don 't fit like they did in the store. In lots of cases, they bought shoes without wearing socks they would wear on their bike. If you are just a beginner and are not positive what socks you will wear, I would recommend getting a moisture wicking sock. You can purchase those at most biking retailers. They might cost a little more, but are worth the extra investment.

 

For starters, get spin shoes with Velcro closers. I know, your first thought is that it looks like something a child would wear. For bikers and spinners, there is practical function to this however. As you pedal, shoes strings can easily get wrapped around the pedals or tangled in a sprocket or belt. The last thing you want to find out is what happens what a string gets tangled while you are riding. Select Velcro.

 

Spinning shoes will feel different when you first try them on. They have a rigid layer towards the front of your foot where you will be applying pressure while pedaling. Don 't worry. This is to be expected. While standing still, they feel normal. When walking, they feel a bit unusual. Spin shoes are not meant for running and you shouldn't be trying it. You be ok walking around in them however when you are not on the spin bike. They be perfectly fine for working out with weight machines. Stay off the treadmills and other machines requiring impact with your feet.

 

Don't buy a spinning shoe without a rigid toe area. Some expert biking shoes won't have a rigid toe. For the average spinner, you want to avoid advanced shoes.

 

You also notice that some spinning shoes look similar to regular hiking or workout shoes and some look unusual with the toe area slick and smooth. There really is no good reason to get the slick toe area. Get the shoes that look like normal shoes. The spinning shoes with the slick toe area can only be used clipped in to your pedals. The shoes that look normal have the cleat just slightly recessed and work well for other exercises in the gym and walking around in general. The people I know who purchased the slick toes regret their selection. Buy the ones that look like hiking shoes.

 

Next time you go to your spinning class, ask your instructor what types of cleats are necessary for the bikes in your class. Most all bikes these days use SPD cleats but there are exceptions. This is a very important item. You'll have to get spinning shoes that are compatible with cleats that will work with the bikes in your gym. When you try on spin shoes, pay particular attention to your heal slipping. If the heal doesn 't stay firmly planted in to the spinning shoe, you will end up with blisters. You obviously be abandoning your shoes quickly if you develop blisters.

 

Getting comfortable shoes is not a difficult task but it should be taken as seriously as buying a running shoe. You will spend tons of hours on a spinning cycle with your spin shoes. A proper fit is critical.
