Cycling shoes are one of the most important pieces of equipment for the modern day cyclist as all the power is pushed from the rider through the pedal, so getting your shoe right is a must. ON the bottom of each shoe a rider will have cleats, which easily clip in to the pedal system, so its important that a rider chooses the best cleat and pedal to go with the shoe. Getting the right price is easy these days as you can compare like for like shoes from UK retailers and see who is offering the best price. For beginners it would be wise to start with a entry level shoe which retails between £20 to £80. As you become more advanced shoes can go for over £250 which all tend to have a carbon sole and be ultra light. It is important that you try the shoes on in a bike shop, but remember they are unlikely to have the best price, so check online before you buy to get the best deal available at the time. If you are a triathlete you need to choose specific shoes that have holes in the bottom to f=drain any excess water.
