After enjoying spinning classes for many months now, it’s high time to purchase some proper cycling shoes. My mission was to find a pair that will be perfect for class but also eventually take me out onto the road. This little task has turned out to be more complicated than I originally estimated. There are vast differences in fit among the range of brands, and like most things in life, you only get what you pay for.
The thing that kept me laughing during this annoying selection process was the following realization: Cyclists are people who wanted to be superheroes, but just didn’t make the cut… The B-team, if you will. Simply take a look at their footwear — Silver and gold, vibrant yellow, blinding white, Superman red, electric blue, and Batman black.
Holy Hotwheels! …And let’s not even mention all that spandex.

If you ever narrow it doen to a few pairs, you should let us vote!

Well, after trying on nearly all of the different brands, it’s abundantly clear that DMT makes the best shoe for my shape of foot… But still, there are quite a few models to choose from.

I’ve wanted to try a spinning class for the longest time. I will admit, I’m a bit intimidated by it though. I’ve gotten SO out of shape and I’m afraid its going to seriously kick my ass…
The only place that I know of that offers a class in my area is the YMCA, but I hear there is a new gym called “The Rush” coming that will offer it too…. Knowing that you’ve been enjoying it for several months encourages me to try it.
… Do they have any pink shoes?

My oldest son wanted cycling shoes for Christmas. He attends college in a city, and rides his bike to class because the parking sucks. I went into a bike shop looking for shoes, and left feeling totally confused.

I can help with any questions anybody might have regarding the ins and outs of cycling. BTW, that blonde guy sure is attractive!
