VAUDE cycling shoes for clipless pedals and flat pedals
Which cycling shoes are right for you depends primarily on your bike, the pedal system you use and your intended use. Different models are available for mountain biking, sporty bike tours or everyday cycling. They vary in sole construction, tread, closure system, fit and features, among other things.
Clipless pedals or flat pedals – which cycling shoes are suitable?
Cycling shoes for clipless pedals have a sole to which a cleat compatible with the respective pedal system can be attached. This creates a fixed connection between the shoe and pedal. Before buying, it's important to check whether the shoe, cleat and pedal system are compatible.
Cycling shoes for flat pedals, on the other hand, are used without a clip-in mechanism. Here, the construction of the sole and its contact with the pedal are among the important factors. Which system suits you better depends on your riding style, bike and personal requirements.
What are the key features of MTB shoes?
Mountain bike shoes are designed for use on the bike and, depending on the model, for walking sections off the bike. Treaded soles can provide support when walking on different surfaces. Depending on the model, MTB shoes also vary in sole stiffness, upper material, toe area, closure system and other features.
Some models are designed for clipless pedals, while others are intended for flat pedals. In addition to fit, pay particular attention to the intended pedal system and the information on the respective product page.
What should you look for when buying cycling shoes?
In addition to the pedal system, fit, sole and closure are important selection criteria. Depending on the model, cycling shoes can feature laces, hook-and-loop fasteners or other closure systems. Ventilation, weather protection and suitability for walking sections can also vary between models.
For longer rides or sporty use, it's particularly important to choose cycling shoes that suit your foot shape, intended use and pedal system. You can find the specific materials, features and compatibility information on the respective product page.
