Road
Shoes designed for long distance rides. These shoes usually have a smooth and rigid plastic or carbon sole, devoid of grips or lugs, while the uppers are usually vented for breathability.
Mountain
These shoes have more aggressive, lugged outsoles to better aid the rider while off the bike. Crafted from tougher and water resistant materials for rough and muddy trails.
Triathlon
Almost similar to road shoes but are designed to be easily removable, have soft lining for sockless comfort, and good drainage.
Indoor
Often called spinning shoes, this type is a fusion of both road and mountain shoes. They have more rubber than road shoes for walking around but are sleeker than mountain bike shoes.
Winter
Cycling shoes with insulated and/or waterproof features and usually with over-the-ankle coverage. Engineered to protect from the cold, wind or moisture during chilly seasons.
Casual
Display a casually stylish design that is meant for leisurely biking, commuting, and touring. This category includes skate-inspired bike sneakers and BMX footwear suitable for the urban jungle and rocky terrain.
Cyclocross
