What are good brands for Cycling shoes? |
I need to buy cycling shoes so what are the good brands out there, where can you buy them? There are alot of good brands out there. Carnac and Sidi are probably the two highest quality and will be some of the most expensive. Shimano makes a nice shoe as does Pearl Izumi. Performance has two house brands Forte and Cat1. Both are nice. Most brands have websites that will list local dealers. Good luck! Eric Go with shimano. they are by far the best in the business. Whilethey may not be the most exotic shoes on the market, you definitly get what you pay for. and for cycling shoes, they are priced fairly. You can order them form various places on the internet, however it would be better to go to a local bicycle shop for several reasons. 1.You will not have to guess what size to buy cause you will be ale to try them on 2. You can get suggestions and help from the employs that will help you choose the right shoe for you. 3. Shimano is the standard in the market, and is compatitble with many types of pedals, althoug, one could argue htat shimano pedlas are alos the best :D And 4. you will be supporting you local bike shop. which is greatly appreicated by those of us in the business. :) Shimano , Lake , Nike , Louis Garneau , Sidi . Check bike shop , Mountain co op , REI and so on . Shimano, Sidi, and Specialized are the best with the most wide range of styles find one that feels good check out your local bike shops I will simply give you my personal experience. My sidi shoes have been flawless. Easy to mount the hardware, durable, and I'm even pleased with the color and look. 10 out of 10. I bought mine from my local bike shop. I would do the same if I were you. Sizing can be a bit iffy, particularly with respect to width. I would not send you to an internet retailer without trying them on first. Every foot is different. Depends what you want to do with your shoes. Shimano are the brand leaders. My shoes are Lake. Not bad for the money. As well as the other brands listed, some of the Motorcyle clothing manufacturers are starting to make an entrance, as I have seen Diadora listed. The spec on these shoes is not bad and they are a reputable make. They are cheep too. Aldi sell shoes, but these have mixed reviews, including the sole separating from the uppers. However, primarily, you want a firm/stiff sole that will not flex, thereby bleading power from your stroke. As well as fit, look for things like breathability vs waterproofing. If mountain bike shoes, walk around in them in the shop, since you may have to leap over styles/gates etc. in them (Or push them up hills if feeling woosey). Generally, I would not stick to one brand, but I would use Shimano as the bench mark. Luck I feel the brand isn't as important as the fit for you. Certain makers tend to make shoes narrow or wider with a little different shape. Most all offer low end to high end shoes with different retaining systems. The best shoe for one person will not always be the best for another. |
