RUNNING SHOES: Nike // SOCKS: Lululemon (similar here) // SPIN SHOES: Giro
Is it okay to take a spin class or ride an indoor cycling class in regular workout shoes? Sure, perfectly fine! They’re great for casual riding, are more ideal when you step off the bike, and are probably more stylish. However, the more you get into spinning and cycling, the longer distances you’ll start to ride, and the more you’ll discover why riders prefer shoes made for the purpose. I encourage you to take the plunge and invest in a pair of professional quality spin shoes to optimize and benefit your workouts. Below are just a few of the MANY reasons why…
- Increase pedal efficiency so you can pull and push the pedals
- Minimal cushion to transfer your power to the pedals
- Stiffer soles to support your feet and prevent cramping
- Well ventilated due to extremely lightweight material
- Clips ensure greater control over the pedals
So do yourself a favor, upgrade your shoes for your upcoming spin class, and enjoy the ride! 🙂
