Nylon Anti-Slip Cushioning Reflective Road Cycling Shoes

WHY BUY CYCLING SHOES?

As any indoor cycling enthusiast will tell you, using dedicated cycling shoes that clip to your pedals is a game changer. Why? It will give you a more powerful, efficient workout by allowing you to transfer more energy from your pedal stroke to the bike.

Melisa Olgun, a cycling instructor at Uforia Studios in San Francisco, explains that “the stiff sole of the cycling shoes transfers the power from your legs straight to the bike, rather than getting absorbed in the cushion of your shoe.”

Further, wearing properly fitted cycling shoes can help prevent injury by “preventing your foot and ankle from moving around during class and keeping your body in proper alignment,” she adds. Cycling-specific shoes will help you engage your hamstrings, calves, glutes and core, in addition to your quadriceps.
