Spinning is an exercise class that continues to gain popularity among those who are looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. When you think about spinning, you probably think that it’s the same as riding a bike. While part of that is true, it’s much more involved and it reaps numerous benefits—both physical but mental as well.

For example, spinning will build lean and defined legs are rear end, but it enforces good posture which also trains your abs and your core. For the mental benefits, you’re going to have your good days and bad, but when you push through and use self-discipline, you’ll feel proud and have that “can-do” attitude.

The reason why these shoes are preferred among cyclers is because the sole is made from a fiberglass-reinforced nylon, which is going to give you the ability to put power into the pedals without the risk of cutting off circulation in your feet, or making it painful to walk in the shoes.

The top of the sole is features a molded Dynalast foot bed that gives you an incredible fit that ensures your feet are comfortable but still supported, regardless of what kind of cycling you’re doing.

The uppers of these shoes are made from a synthetic leather that won’t stretch out over time. The material is durable, lightweight, and it features mesh panels in those crucial areas where your feet need extra ventilation and some stretch. The uppers close around your feet with two straps, which hold your foot inside the shoe without having to worry about side to side movement.

Our Recommendation

When looking at the reviews from other customers who have purchased these shoes, we feel that the Shimano All Around Men's Cycling Shoe are every bit worth the money that you will be paying. Depending on the size of the shoe, these come in between the $70 to $80 price range.

However, if you need larger sizes, you may see prices significantly higher. With pricing aside, you can expect that when you wear the shoes, you’ll experience a much more comfortable ride and even get some more power when you pedal.

Remember, spinning isn’t just something you do to enhance your body, it can help reinforce that “can-do” attitude and help you feel like you can do anything. Just think about it, if you make it through an intense spin class when you don’t want to, you’re going to be exhausted, but you can look in the mirror and feel proud of yourself for doing it!
