Pulling the strap to tighten the shoe, the upper wraps around the foot and enhances the shoe’s arch support for a truly personalized fit.

However, if you're not setting up from scratch, you'll simply need to ensure your shoes can accept the cleats that are compatible with your pedals. If you're unsure, go for shoes that accept both styles, like the Nike Super Rep. Which sole material is best? The IC1 shoes are more versatile in terms of compatibility, lighter in weight, and cheaper in price, while the IC2 shoes are more walkable in terms of cleat design, heavier in weight, and more expensive in price.

The IC1 shoe compatible with most popular cleat designs. This includes Peloton, SoulCycle as well as Shimano’s own cleats. It uses a five-hole design to work with 2- and 3-bolt (SPD and SPD-SL) cleat mounts, and will work with several of the proprietary spin bike designs. That means you can use one set up on your bike at home or take these shoes to the spin studio.As the indoor cycling market has exploded in popularity of the last 12 months, Shimano engineers have revamped their footwear offerings. The IC2 is purpose built for indoor riding with it’s recessed 2-bolt cleat position, low-profile slipper-like fit and ventilation optimization. see what Shimano has to say about it below. When purchasing shoes to go along with your Peloton or exercise bike, comfort and convenience are two of the most important factors. Most spin shoes are made to be lightweight and have a velcro strap for easy and fast wear and removal; you don’t want to have to stop mid-workout stops to tie your shoe. Not surprisingly, the best Peloton shoes overall are those made by Peloton itself, but these spin shoes can be used on other exercise bikes, too. These lightweight, breathable upper and mesh vent Peloton shoes feature a ratchet clip and velcro straps. If you plan on purchasing these shoes with your new bike, Peloton will deliver your shoes with your bike so you’ll have them in time for that first ride.

They also have durable mesh on top and a ventilated sole, which are designed to offer superior breathability and cooling for indoor conditions. Shimano's IC1 (IC100) have been designed to cater to the ever growing indoor cycling market, with a superlight and breathable design that lets you hit the trainer hard, whether that be on Zwift or another virtual app, or just getting the hammer down old school style! Both shoes feature Shimano’s Dynalast upper, which is designed to minimize strain on the foot and ankle by providing a smooth and efficient pedaling motion. Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, The fundamental pedaling requirement of a cycling shoe is that it stabilizes the foot, and the IC1 does that extremely effectively for people with all foot shapes and sizes because of the versatile design,” says Gascon. “The slip-on construction makes is easy for everyone to get the shoe onto their foot, the mesh upper provides elasticity, and the Velcro cross strap is adjustable for arch support, volume control, and to keep the foot from shifting laterally.”The ic1 shoes are slightly lighter than the IC2 shoes, weighing 250g per shoe compared to 265g per shoe. This might not make a huge difference in performance, but it could affect your comfort and preference. Spin shoes are typically compatible with either the SPD Clip (2-Bolt System), or the Delta Clip (3-Bolt System). Better spin shoes can fit either clip. Either way, it’s important to know if the spin shoe you’re buying will work with the clip that’s compatible with your exercise bike. For example, Peloton bikes come with Delta-compatible pedals, so unless you want to replace the pedals on your bike, too, you’ll want to find shoes that work with Delta clips. The vast majority of us can't flex the board-stiff carbon plate on a top-end race shoe, and shoes that are too stiff can cause undue stress on knees and ankles – especially when the bike is essentially bolted to the floor as is the case on most turbo trainers. A small degree of flex vastly improves comfort and helps alleviate overuse injuries without sacrificing much, if any, power transfer or efficiency. Read our full TIEM Slipstream cycling shoe review .

Absolutely. As we mentioned, although you can use regular exercise shoes to cycle, clipping in helps to improve power output and cadence efficiency on the pedals. Without a fixed shoe, your foot is more likely to slip or put undue pressure on your ankles, which could negatively impact your cycling efforts. The Shimano IC1 and IC2 shoes are both great options for indoor cycling, but they have some differences that might suit different preferences and needs. The IC2's mesh upper construction provides exceptional breathability as well as a slipper-like fit that cradles the foot for optimized comfort and stability. Providing support and structure to this soft upper design is Shimano's Cross Strap Closure System which utilizes a single strap to control the shoe's volume so riders can dial in their perfect fit. The strap travels across the toe box and then reaches over the shoe's instep, delivering rigidity and structure to help hold the foot in place while maximizing comfort.The models we've chosen include cycling shoes that clip into the best exercise bikes and the Peloton bike. But before you decide, different exercise bikes support different cleat types attaching to the outsole of your cycling shoe: 2-bolt SPD cleats suit mountain bike riders, and 3-bolt Look Delta cleats are better for road cyclists. Indoor cycling is different than riding outside. Event the priciest ultra-lightweight road shoe is overkill for most spin sessions. Instead of destroying your favorite shoes with a winter’s-worth of sweat, spin through the snowy months with the Shimano indoor-specific IC1 (SH-IC100). If you’re an indoor cyclist, you either have your outdoor bike set up on a trainer inside, or you have an indoor specific bike. In either case, the concern when getting a pair of indoor cycling shoes is the compatibility with your bike and pedals. The IC1 has a five-hole construction, which means that it’s compatible with all popular pedal systems, including SPD-SL/3-hole/Delta systems, as well as SPD/2-hole systems. In other words, the IC1 is compatible with Peloton pedal systems, SoulCycle pedal systems, as well as your outdoor bike pedals.
