Cycling Shoes

Do you want to know more about cycling shoes?

Cycling shoes have a microfibre or leather upper with a sturdy and rigid outsole that, in the case of MTB cycling shoes (or MTB shoes), are designed to provide maximum traction on all types of terrain. They can be secured using velcro straps or a closing system which combines this with a micro adjustable ratchet. In both cases, a secure fit must be ensured at all times.

Both the upper part and the tongue can be perforated or have microfibre inserts for better air flow. The inner sole, in addition to having an anatomical design to adapt to the feet, should facilitate ventilation.

Bicycle shoes should also contain heel pads that do not mishapen, providing better foot stability and greater control. The reflective inserts on the back of the cycling shoes can provide greater visibility in low light conditions.

Cycling shoes are designed to optimise pedalling performance, ensuring comfort and perfect fit at all times. They are lightweight, with excellent ventilation and shape, making them the perfect tool for champions.

One of the main brands of cycling shoes is Sidi, the brand that equips the best cyclists on the scene. Figures like Ivan Basso, Joaquín Rodríguez, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali or Samuel Sánchez wear Sidi shoes.
