Do you need cycling shoes to ride this bike or will regular sneakers work ? Thank you

I ride with regular sneakers. It comes with foot straps connected to the pedals that you can place your shoe into, it's nothing fancy. Also if you dont want to use them, it is easy to take them off or just do what I do when I don't want to use them, turn the pedal over and use the other side. Personally I sometimes prefer to not use the straps. The reason being is that this particular model does not have a breaking system on the fly wheel, so if you are pedaling fast and attempt to do get out of the saddle or make some adjustment it will try to throw you off the bike. That is not really an issue though as its intuitive by nature and that has happened only because i'm new to it. I ride with regular sneakers.

Regular sneakers, they have adjustable cages on the pedals but no clips so regular sneakers are fine.

You don't need shoe clips with these pedals. They are set up to use with regular shoes, though a narrow profile cycling shoe will get you into and out of the straps easier. If you have lock in type shoes, you probably want a "clipless" pedal

Hi Dawn, sorry for the delay but I purchased as a gift for a friend and had to contact her. It appears that the pedals are standard regular bike pedals, along with the toe cage, but no clips for cycling shoes to clip onto. I hope that helps in your decision, as I had to do some research to make sure I understood your question. Ha! Thanks for your patience!

Yes, that is correct. You can either purchase pedals from us separately or use pedals that you already use for your road bike. Thanks, Andy

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

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)

Shoes are very personal. It depends on how wide ur foot is etc. U will see as some shoes have diff widths. I was new to cycling and didn't feel any shoe was comfy until I tried.the giro shoe. I bought the giro gauge shoe. Love it. Unlike pedals u need to try the shoe on b4 u buy.

It almost depends on what type of bike you have. But that being said I have a commuter style bike and your legs do kind of have to go "out" a little more when you pedal. It's not bad though, it just takes some getting used to.

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

That is correct. Me and my husband had an extra pair of clip pedals that we installed on the bike, allowing us to use our bike shoes while riding the training.

It depends on how tall you are. I would go to a local bike store in your area and see what size fits you and order that size as it is standard like shoes.

If you want to use the cleat side of the pedal you would need to buy the spin shoes with cleats. Otherwise, you use the other side of the pedal with straps. You will definitely love spinning way more once you try the cleats!! Well worth it.

Hi Bryan. I think your right size for the bike shoes is the same ( 10.5) only for running shoes is better to get a bigger size.

My husband really likes his pedals; he has a size 12EEE foot. The studs on the pedals help keep your foot on them when they are wet. Be sure you get the right diameter shaft for your bike. I believe there were two sizes.

Yes, I use these on a road bike. While I do have mountain bike shoes (for comfort- I don't race), I have a friend who pairs these with road shoes.

I bought a size 47 and normally wear a size 11 shoe (11.5 sneakers) with D width. Don't see how somebody with an EEEE width could wear these. In consideration that you will be spending a lot of time in your shoes, my suggestion is that you go to a local bicycling shop and get properly fitted. You'll be happy that you did.

This spin bike comes with standard rat-trap pedals. To "clip in", you would have to swap to pedals that support the type of clips you're using.
