The 13 Best Peloton Shoes, According to Indoor Cyclists

Cyclingdeal SH-CD-R03-40 ($30)

If you're not married to your Peloton, these shoes are a great option. They're compatible with 2-bolt & 3-bolt cleats. They're also non-slip (to help you walk across the floor to and from the locker room), and you can't beat the price.

Santic Cycling Shoes ($40-$80)

If you're looking for affordable yet durable cycling shoes, these Santic cycling shoes are a great buy. "Looks great, a cool his or hers cycling shoe," one reviewer wrote, although others noted that you do have to buy the cleats separately. That said, these shoes have a thickened heel cup, so you can work out without worrying about your foot slipping out. Not to mention, the cool blue color will look great against your black and red Peloton bike.

Bucklos Road Bike Shoe with Cleats ($43)

If you're a indoor cycling newbie who needs a good starter shoe, this might be the perfect fit. They have a velcro strap and rotating buckle, to help a variety of foot shapes get a comfortable fit. They're compatible with two- or three-bolt cleats, so you can switch between different types of bikes as you try different indoor cycling workouts. And the synthetic leather and a mesh upper makes for a lightweight feel. Finally, they're affordable, so you aren't shelling out the big bucks for a hobby that may or may not stick.

Roknemo Cycling Shoes ($53-$62)

One of the cheapest pairs of Peloton-compatible cycling shoes on Amazon, this pair from Roknemo comes with an 18-month warranty and is compatible with both two- and three-bolt cleats. The perforated upper and the mesh vents on the base offer ventilation and air flow for indoor rides or road bike tours. Reviewers describe them as "lightweight and breathable," which is exactly what you want in a cycling shoe.

Tommaso Pista Road Bike Cycling Shoe ($66)

With dual-cleat compatibility (meaning you can attach either Delta cleats or two-bolt SPD cleats), this cycling shoe offers the best of both worlds. "I absolutely recommend these shoes if you're searching for a cute pair of indoor cycling shoes," one buyer wrote, adding that they were easy to clip in and out of the bike. The sole is also made out of reinforced fiberglass for a more powerful and smoother pedal stroke, whether you're using these as cycling shoes for Peloton classes or out on your road bike.

Tommaso Pista Aria Knit Indoor Cycling Shoe ($74, Previously $80)

Durable and breathable, these Tommaso cycling shoes are made to hug your feet without stretching over time and hailed as one of the best shoes for the Peloton bike. "These were my first clip on riding shoes ever and they worked out beautifully," one reviewer wrote. "They fit comfortably and they were easy to learn how to clip onto pedals. I use them for a spin class and they make my riding experience much more enjoyable." They're available to shop with and without cleats, so be sure to purchase the best style depending on your needs.

Tommaso Pista Aria Elite Quick Lace Cleats ($91)

If you want a comfortable and breathable shoe for Peloton rides, these quick-lace cycling shoes may be the way to go. The shoes are made with a nylon knit yarn that allows for breathability while ensuring they won't stretch over time. "I simply do not notice them at all while riding, which is the goal for any pair of shoes during a workout," one reviewer confirmed, attributing the level of comfort to the mesh upper.

Shimano IC1 Indoor Cycling Shoes ($100)

These sleek Shimano cycling shoes make it easy to slip on your biking shoes and go. They have a similar fit and feel to socks, so your toes will feel supported with plush comfort and plenty of wiggle room to breathe. While customer reviews confirm the shoes are Peloton compatible, you'll still need to purchase cleats separately.

Vittoria Hera Performance Road Cycling Shoes ($100-$110)

These cycling shoes are only made for three-bolt cleats, just like the kind you'll need for your home Peloton bike. These Peloton-compatible cycling shoes feature double straps and an adjustable buckle for stability and flexibility. They're also available to shop in a variety of colorways, so you can purchase a style that's perfect for you and your workout wardrobe.

Peloton Cycling Shoes ($106)

It goes without saying that the Peloton-branded shoes are your safest bet. These Peloton cycle shoes feature a breathable upper and mesh vent with a ratchet clip and velcro straps for a perfectly snug fit. You can even purchase these as an add-on accessory when you buy your Peloton bike.

Nike SuperRep Cycle 2 Next Nature ($130)

Comfortable, breathable, ultra-lightweight — these are the words that come up in indoor cyclists' reviews of the Nike SuperRep shoes. But reviewers are also in agreement that they run small, so consider sizing up.

Tiem Slipstream Women's Cycling Shoe ($135)

"The only shoe I'm clipping in with is the Tiem Slipstream indoor cycling shoe," says group fitness instructor Jordan Reichert. "I have either taught or taken almost 1200 classes in these shoes and I trust them to do the job. They're SPD compatible, provide stellar arch support like your favorite sneaker, and come in super fun colors." Schneider agrees that Tiems are a functional and comfortable choice. "They have the cleats positioned up inside of the shoes so that you can walk with them and transition to strength without switching shoes," she says.

To get the Slipstreams to work with a Peloton, you'll have to change out the pedals. The Tiem site specifically recommends the SHIMANO M520 SPD Pedal or a dual-sided pedal that can accommodate the SPD (two-hole) cleat.

Adidas The Indoor Cycling Shoe ($150)

The classic three-stripe design features an upper made of 50% recycled content and a stiff midsole to help you pedal more efficiently. "I love how light these are!" one reviewer gushes. "They are not tight and the design is so cool, I'm in love."
