When shopping for cycling shoes, look for:
A stiff sole: Stiff soles boost leverage on the pedal and decrease foot fatigue.
A good retaining system:
Laces, Velcro straps or other retaining systems hold your feet securely
in place, which aids the upward movement of your pedal stroke, and lend
stability by reducing movement.
Shoe breathability:
Riding indoors generates considerable body heat and sweat, so make sure
the shoe features mesh or another breathable fabric that circulates air
to your feet.
Safety:
Most road cleat systems have large protruding cleats that can make
walking difficult and hazardous in a gym environment. For Spinning
classes, your best bet is a shoe with a recessed cleat or SPD® (Shimano
Pedal Design) system and a rubberized sole for safety.
