Shimano IC1 Shoes Size

Product Information

While the Tiems are compatible with SPD clips, if you want to use them with a Peloton, you’ll need to change the pedals on your bike, which is another add-on expense. TIEM recommends customers to size down half a size of what you wear for your regular shoes. Absolutely. As we mentioned, although you can use regular exercise shoes to cycle, clipping in helps to improve power output and cadence efficiency on the pedals. Without a fixed shoe, your foot is more likely to slip or put undue pressure on your ankles, which could negatively impact your cycling efforts. They also have durable mesh on top and a ventilated sole, which are designed to offer superior breathability and cooling for indoor conditions. The IC1 shoes are more versatile in terms of compatibility, lighter in weight, and cheaper in price, while the IC2 shoes are more walkable in terms of cleat design, heavier in weight, and more expensive in price. Indoor training is highly effective at building your fitness. But even if you’re wearing a superlight mesh base layer, highly breathable cycling shorts and with the fan on full-blast, you’ll still build up a healthy sweat. And your feet don’t miss out on the fun either, which is where the highly ventilated IC1 Indoor Cycling shoes come into their own.

If you’re an indoor cyclist, you either have your outdoor bike set up on a trainer inside, or you have an indoor specific bike. In either case, the concern when getting a pair of indoor cycling shoes is the compatibility with your bike and pedals. The IC1 has a five-hole construction, which means that it’s compatible with all popular pedal systems, including SPD-SL/3-hole/Delta systems, as well as SPD/2-hole systems. In other words, the IC1 is compatible with Peloton pedal systems, SoulCycle pedal systems, as well as your outdoor bike pedals.It's well established that carbon-soled shoes are stiffer and lighter than their nylon or carbon-reinforced cousins. However, when you're spinning on the trainer, weight is hardly a consideration, but comfort should be. The IC2's mesh upper construction provides exceptional breathability as well as a slipper-like fit that cradles the foot for optimized comfort and stability. Providing support and structure to this soft upper design is Shimano's Cross Strap Closure System which utilizes a single strap to control the shoe's volume so riders can dial in their perfect fit. The strap travels across the toe box and then reaches over the shoe's instep, delivering rigidity and structure to help hold the foot in place while maximizing comfort. Concerned about your feet complimenting your style while you ride? The Tiem Slipstream spin shoes look more like a pair of traditional sneakers, and feature mesh to allow your feet to breathe throughout your ride and are lightweight. A perk of wearing these sneaker-like shoes is that you can walk in them outside of the class with the clips attached, unlike traditional cycling shoes. And, they’re available in six colors. Indoor cycling presents a whole new set of challenges this is also true for your feet. The best cycling shoes will cope with the task admirably, of course, but indoor-specific cycling shoes are designed with a few added features that allow them to perform really well indoors.

Depending on what you are looking for in an indoor cycling shoe, you might prefer one over the other. Peloton has recently released a new, more expensive pair of cycling shoes, the Peloton Altos, which have a single velcro strap to make it easier to get the shoes on and off. The ic1 shoes are slightly lighter than the IC2 shoes, weighing 250g per shoe compared to 265g per shoe. This might not make a huge difference in performance, but it could affect your comfort and preference.Finding the best shoes for Peloton could take a few tries, so always make sure the shoe fits comfortably rather than pressing into your foot.
