Mountain bike shoes are rugged with better traction and a flexible sole for walking. Winter shoes are insulated and waterproof for cold weather. They can be used with or without cleats. Cycling shoes are designed to increase power and efficiency, protect the foot, and improve comfort while cycling. There are several different types and styles of cycling shoes available, each designed for more specific types of cycling. Select each type to learn more. Road. Designed for road cycling and are typically sleek and aerodynamic. They have a stiff sole that helps to transfer power from the rider's foot to the pedals. They have a cleat system that attaches to the pedal. This allows the rider to pull up on the pedals and push down, providing more power and efficiency. Mountain bike. Designed for off-road cycling and are more rugged than road shoes. They typically have a more aggressive tread pattern for better traction on rough terrain. They also have a more flexible sole than road shoes, which allows for more comfortable walking when it's necessary to dismount and carry the bike. They also may have a cleat system that attaches to the pedal. Winter. Designed for cold weather riding. They are typically insulated and waterproof to keep the feet warm and dry. They may also have a thicker sole for added warmth. They can be used with cleats or without, depending on the rider's preference.
