Favorite Spin Shoe Brands

[Miranda]

I don't know that Nike makes indoor shoes anymore, I just tried to search for them, and couldn't find anything. As for me, I'm still searching for a good pair for spin class. I found a pair of diadora road shoes that would be perfect (found em used for real cheap), but I'm having issues with one of the cleat holes, the cleat keeps coming out when I unclip. No good.

I don't do well with tools and confidence, so I let the shop switch my stuff up (or I could potentially just switch cleats for class, etc.), but I thought they could replace the plate in the shoe to fix the cleat? When my Zetas were brand spaking new the tech torqed the screw too tight and broke part of the cleat. It still works... but I think it could be replaced. You might go into the shop and check it out. Or, maybe try geeking it out on here, or google, for replacement plates. I'm not a tech queen... but seems like I've seen the part before. FWIW....

i use the sidi's vigo for indoor spinning.

it's a fine shoe for indoor spinning.

i use mountain shoes, cannondale by diadora for outdoor road cycling.

the cannondales dont work well for me indoor and the sidi dont work well for me on long distance rides outdoor

My Shimano mtb shoes have a removable cleat plate, but the diadora's don't (necessarily). I actually cut through the fabric to remove the plate to see if my shimano ones fit (they don't, the shimano plate is too wide and doesn't fit in the niche). The fabric folds back over it just fine, I have thin insoles that I put in them so it doesn't rub my foot. I tried some longer screws, and it seemed to hold better, but i can feel them slightly without the insoles. If all else fails, i'm only out $10 (for the used shoes), but i'll have to keep looking for something else. I'm not ready to shell out $100 for spin shoes, i'll go back to wearing my mtb ones!

$10 for the used shoes... wow, that's killer! I know, as I was checking out fitting the Superfeet that just came into stuff, the Diadoras are glued... but not tight. I think Superfeet makes some type of insole that can fit over the current insert if you cut it more. That's good to know, because that shoe has no arch support what so ever. I think that's part of my issue. I've been lazy lately, but normally I'm at the gym a lot regardless of what I'm doing outside. I'm certified to teach too, but just have never started yet. So for me, it's enough spinning stuff to justify the shoe. It's funny... when I wear the mtb shoe out on the trail and come back in with sticker weeds I forgot in the velcro at spin class, some of those proper ladies raise an eyebrow at my mtb remains. I think it makes the mtb shoe happy though.

Thx for the feedback on the Vigos. I like that they just have the two straps to deal with by the looks of it. I HATE tieing shoes in general (well, I'd be barefoot and sockless most all the time if practical) and my mtb shoes have ties and two velcro straps. Intended to give good security I think for the trail. But for inside, that much security is overkill, IMHO.
