Title: Cycling shoes
Post by: Shawn on Feb 06, 2026, 03:55 PM
Do you all use cycling-specific shoes?

They have "clipless" even though it sort of clips into pedals.

And they have flats which are just regular shoes but made flat for regular pedals.

What cycling shoes do you use?

If clipless, do you use SPD (popular on gravel and mountain bikes) or LOOK/Shimano-style pedals (popular on road bikes)?

Do you think clipless is the way to go or are you not a part of that team?
