Cycling shoe

Bike shoes are special shoes for cycling. The sole is stiff to distribute the force over the largest possible area of the foot. This pressure points are to be reduced on the foot. In high-priced shoes soles are made ​​of CFRP used.

Almost all bike shoes are fitted at the bottom of a mounting option for a cleat (English: cleat ) for connection to a clipless pedal. When racing shoes, the plates are bolted to the bottom of the (usually smooth ) sole, causing the walking with these shoes is very difficult. Shoes for MTB and leisure wheels have thick soles, cleats screwed sunk. The sole is usually not as stiff, so the usual mountain biking carrying sections are easier to deal with.
