Are these shoes good for a road bike and what peddles are best suited for a road bike

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

After about 1year and 1300 miles they have been great. They are good to walk around when you are not on the bike I have shimano combo pedals spd on one side and regular on the other I think they are A530 or similar.

Hi, my boyfriend is using this shoe for indoor cycling only. He doesn't have an outside road bike - so, I am not sure if it would work or not. Sorry, I can't really advise on the outside riding.

I wear a size twelve and there is some flexibility for a somewhat larger shoe. I concur with the idea that size 13 or 14 men's might be the maximum. Remember that this fits only over the toe and even a very small toe will fit on the peddle, though getting optimum performance when lifting the peddle probably requires a shoe size near the maximum.

SPD is one of the cleat designs for cycling shoes. As long as you shoes have SPD cleats you can use them.

I'm a 10.5 regular and the 45 regular width is perfect. The Shimano shoes seem to run a bit smaller than others and you need to go at least a half size up. Regarding the toe straps, yes they would work as long as you didn't install cleats on the bottom of the shoes. You would lose most benefits of the shoe I would think, and would probably be better off just wearing running shoes or tennis sneakers with the toe straps - then at least you can walk around when you're off the bike. these, like basically all road bike shoes, are akin to ice walking when trying to get around.

Depends entirely on the width of your chainstay and front fork. If you have a touring bike or cyclocross bike, yep, they will fit. If you have a serious road racer, maybe not. I do like the tires. Prob'ly have 500 mi on 'em so far. If they are made in a thinner crosssection ... you might check on that.

According to the Soulcycle website these will fit their bikes. They prefer you to have "Look" cleats but these will work. If you are experienced with cleats/clips, go heavy with resistance then, opt for the "look" or SPD SH-51. These two Lock in better. The SH-56 is easier to clip in and out from the pedal.

I would say that if you wear a wide is street shoes... get a wide in a road bike shoe. The part number would be SH-R088W (you can find it on zappos.com)

i dont know if its going to work with you bike, i believe it would because those are universal pedals and yes you can use any shoes

Kelly - these are small enough that i believe childrens shoes would fit well. The question may be if the mounting holes would fit on a small bike pedal. As mine have all grown I don't have any kids bikes at home to give an answer.

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.

Yes. The difference between mountain and road pedals is in the shoes they are compatible with, not the bikes. Pedals are standard across all bike types.

You can go online and fine a sizing chart for road bikes. I'm not sure that any of these would be quite small enough for you, maybe the XS

Sorry.made mistake. Gauge shoes were for mountain bike. I went with giro trans for the road bike.

I remember I purchased cleats at local bike shop separately. Please buy the shoes at amazon and buy cleats at local shop and ask them to install them on the shoes.

Yes, I use mine on a road bike and find it very useful. I carry multi-tool, spare tube/repair kit.

They bolted onto my cheap factory pedals on my Trek just fine. The pedals, however, do need to be designed to use toe clips. You need two bolt holes in the front and a slot in the middle of the sides for the strap to go through. If your pedals came on a road bike, they are probably good to go. Any other style of bike, you'll more than likely have to buy a set of pedals.
