How long do cycling shoes last? |
I was told by a bike shop that my shoes where at the end of their life. The shoes seem fine to me, they don't have any visible damage. Are they like running shoes, where you need to replace them every few months, or should they last a year or two? In my experience they are NOT like running shoes which are replaced with respect to mileage. I ride quite a lot, and with care get 2 years or more form shoes. But, I don't walk around much in them, which makes a difference. The cleat is the part that often takes the abuse, and that can be replaced. I attached a link to a nice article about cycling shoes. Source(s): http://larryscycle.com/tip11.htm... In my experience about 9 months to a year ! Actually, thinking about it more, it doesn't hurt to change them annually really, does it? If you can't see any damage, and they don't cause any problems, I'd keep wearing them till they do. Don't buy something you don't need. Shoes should last a while (multiple years). However, the cleats last 9 to 12 months, in my experience. If the shoes have velcro fasteners, and they are no longer gripping as well, try replacing the velcro. If they are have plastic walking platforms, and the platform is worn out, then you should replace the platform. multiple years of riding with clipless pedals, cleats, shoes Mine last me about a year and a half. It depends how long you use them and for what duration. |
