Road Bike Shoes for Men or Women – A Must-Have for All Road Cyclists

For passionate road cyclists, road bike shoes are indispensable. Road bike shoes with stiff soles perfectly transfer power to the pedal. An SPD system for road bike shoes on the soles creates a firm and anti-slip connection between shoes and pedals. Road bike shoes for men as well as for women serve as the interface between road bikes and cyclists.

Road bike shoes for men or women are characterized by their smooth, stiff, slightly arched soles and uppers featuring a tight fit. A firm heel counter keeps your foot well in place and optimizes a firm hold. The upper shoe material, in most cases, faux leather, is slightly elastic, allowing the shoe to adapt to the shape of your foot. Mesh inserts or perforations provide good ventilation inside the shoe. The sole is the most important quality trait of road bike shoes because the stiffness of the sole determines the degree of power transfer. Road bike shoes by Sidi are known for their excellent sole construction and are therefore highly sought after among ambitious cyclists.

Standard road bike soles are made from nylon. Possible carbon reinforcements in the pedal area partially enhance stiffness. Demanding cyclists prefer completely stiff soles. These are soles made from carbon-Nylon composite material and, of course, soles made entirely from carbon. The higher the carbon content in the sole, the stiffer and more lightweight it becomes, and the more expensive the shoe will be. Soles of road bike shoes for men have three treaded holes in the pedal area for mounting road bike shoe pedal plates (cleats).

For the individual adjustment to your feet, the closure of road bike shoes is crucial. A classic in this area is lacing, yet it is difficult to re-adjust on the bike. Ratchet closures and Velcro straps allow for easy re-adjustment. Ever more cyclists nowadays favor dial closures (e.g. BOA). Fine wires serve as large-scale lacing and are continuously fixated with a dial closure. The dial closure is very lightweight and super easy to operate even one-handed on the bike. All closure systems are often combined with Velcro straps.

Makeup of a Road Bike Shoe

  • Upper: lightweight synthetic material (rarely leather) with ventilation zones and reinforcements at the heel (heel cap) provides a firm hold
  • Insole: ergonomically padded, with a moisture-wicking and bacteriostatic surface
  • Outsole: very stiff, slightly arched, and smooth, made from nylon, sometimes with carbon inserts or as a composite material with carbon or made entirely from carbon, features holes for a 3-point pedal plate
  • Closure: a continuous dial closure (BOA), ratchet closure, Velcro strap, or classic lacing or a combination of all

Triathlon shoes for men or women, compared to road bike shoes, feature a different upper only; the sole makeup is the same. For triathletes, it is important not to lose valuable time in the transition area. This is why the upper features one or a maximum of two easily and quickly fastening Velcro straps and a large easy-on loop. The low-friction inner construction, in most cases without a tongue, allows you to wear triathlon shoes barefooted. The upper shoe material is breathable and quickly drying.

Road bike shoes for men and women are also available with weatherproof features specifically for winter. They feature a warm lining, and from the outside, they are protected by a waterproof and windproof membrane. An ankle-high top, usually made from Neoprene, protects you from water and cold temperatures. Among Northwave road bike shoes, you can find extremely warm winter shoes that will keep your feet pleasantly warm even in temperatures below zero.

Road Bike Shoes with SPD Click System

The Shimano click system, apart from Look, Speedplay, Synchros, etc., is the most frequently sold system in Germany. Road bike shoes with SPD system (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) guarantee a perfect power transfer to the pedal both in the downward movement as well as the upward movement. Road bike shoes with SPD system make the entire pedaling cycle more efficient. Exiting the connection is easily achieved by simply twisting the foot. The force required can be individually adjusted.

Shimano provides SPD-SL pedals for road bike shoes. These flat pedals are very well compatible with the smooth sole of road bike shoes. Road bike cleats (SPD-SL) are connected to the soles at 3 points. They feature better off-bike comfort and a flatter design. Cleats for MTB shoes are connected to the sole at 2 points. Cleat and pedal for MTB (SPD system) are more robust and compact in their construction. They perfectly match MTB treaded soles.

Some road bike shoes for women and men, e.g., by Northwave, are SPD compatible and also compatible with 2-point MTB cleats. Please check for information on how to re-adjust beforehand so your shoe – and especially the sole – is not damaged. Usually, when you purchase road bike shoes, pedal plates are not included in the scope of delivery. Pedal plates are available individually or as part of a complete SPD system (pedals + plates).

Buying road bike shoes made easy

The quality of road bike shoes should match your road cycling habits. If you are performance oriented and participate in competitions you should consider purchasing road bike shoes with efficient power transfer. These shoes feature a rather tight fit for a really firm hold and a very stiff sole. If you cycle for pleasure or as a hobby you can get more comfortable road bike shoes with a wider fit and a more flexible sole. All shoes, whether in the newcomer’s or top range, are available with different closure systems. Here you should decide according to your personal preference.

The fit of road bike shoes differs with each brand. Here you will find a short overview of our brands and the respective fit:

  • Scott road bike shoes: both have a comfortable rather wide fit. If your size is an intermediate size you should buy these shoes with the larger size.
  • Bontrager road bike shoes: feature a comfortable and wide last across the entire foot, but they are short.
  • Sidi road bike shoes: you should always choose Sidi road bike shoes one size larger because they are known to be rather tight and very short.
  • Specialized road bike shoes:are suitable for rather narrow feet and are also rather short. Please buy one size larger.

Buying road bike shoes is just like buying everyday shoes. Road bike shoes need to match the shape of your feet, they should not restrict you or create pressure points. Even though road bike shoes for men should feature a tight fit for an efficient power transfer these shoes do not need to be uncomfortable. Because tired and tortured feet cannot perform as well as you would like them to.
