Shimano SH-TR9 Cycling Shoe - Women's

Step up your cycling game and minimize transition time with the Shimano women's SH-TR9 Shoes. Boasting a lightweight carbon composite sole with a rating of 10 out of a possible 12 on Shimano's stiffness scale, these shoes are built to transfer power in a snap with a few features to make transitions a breeze. Shimano's triathlon-specific T1-Quick strap gives a wide target to grab while in the saddle and easily tightens down for a secure fit while asymmetrical heel loops let you quickly secure your shoes after exiting T1.

The SH-TR9's upper is made from a mix of synthetic leather and breathable, fast-drying mesh that provides exceptional ventilation to dry off after the swim and keep your feet cool and comfortable throughout the bike leg. At the front, a toe cap with air intake perforations helps maintain the upper's shape and provides extra breathability and water shedding properties.

Pearl Izumi SELECT Road V5 Cycling Shoe - Women's

Minimalist, but not lacking, the Pearl Izumi Women's Road V5 Cycling Shoes make for the perfect partner on all-day weekend cruises, and after work group rides alike. That's because they pack a good punch in their simple profile, with three hook-and-loop straps to enclose your foot with a customized fit, and synthetic uppers that support you through the longest miles. The sole might flex a touch more than the Road Race model, but they still push forward with a good degree of stiffness thanks to a composite matrix reinforced with nylon, landing it right in the middle of Pearl's stiffness scale, so you have a little forgiveness when you head for your first century, when comfort is a bit more important than pedaling efficiency. The sole is finished with traction at the heel and toe to help you keep upright when those long days in the saddle are punctuated by refueling stops at convenience stores with slippery linoleum floors.

Five Ten Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe - Women's

The Five Ten Women's Freerider Contact Women's Shoes build on the well-loved Freerider with a slightly more casual styling and even grippier sole for confident purchase on the pedals.

A stiff midsole provides just the right amount of support while still remaining walkable, and a reinforced toe cap provides extra protection for your feet. The durable synthetic upper resists abrasion while mesh paneling provides cooling ventilation while you rock the park, cruise the DH circuit, or clean lines across all manner of all-mountain riding.

Alright guys welcome back to wild outdoor living today we're going to be taking a look at the 510 free-rider. Contact and the regular 510 free-rider. Now we were looking to buy some flat. Pedal shoes for our bikes you know it was a real challenge because the 510 free-rider contact cost one hundred and fifty dollars and the regular free rider just costs a hundred so i wanted to know. Why is there such a big difference between these two pedal shoes maybe. Besides the initial looks and some of the stuff you can see online and nobody was doing in comparison so now that i have both of shoes here we're going to show you what the differences are so you can decide what is best for you the. Stuff we have the 510 free rider contact this is the women's version i got this purse elise when she decided to go to. Flat pedals we decided to get her these shoes for a couple of reasons first. There are a little bit lower profiled so if the styles not real the big fat skater style like any other reason i. Wasn't quite as worried with the new. Design being a little bit untested because solis is not right nearly as many miles as i do so mostly it was just get a good fit get a nice clean profile. And get a really good sticky sole so if. We look at some of the features on this shoe this is their newer design we're. Seeing a lot more synthetic materials, so we have this kind of rubberized texture right here along the mid foot same thing. On the inside on the medial side lateral media we do have some really tough. Plastic or rubber nylon type of material. In the toe and around just around the. Just around really look the front and sides of the whole toe box it's really rigid it's a super protective toe. Cap and we have a similar thing going on in the heel but upside of this is it's. Going to keep your toes really protected the downside is that if your toes don't. Quite fit in there comfortably that can. Be really irritating because there is no stretch to the shoes being that so synthetic we do see the real trademark. Of the content versus the contact patch it has no dots. On the in that area this is the area of. The foot you would put on the pedal and so instead of having all the all these. Groupies to make it inconsistent feeling. You're going to just make that flat it's going to sink down to the pedal and really give you a good grip additionally. This is 5/10 stickiest stealth rubber so. The two biggest differences you've got that flat contact pass it gives the shoe the contact name and then you have the. Ultra sticky stealth rubber. That is the softest stickiest that 5/10. Makes there are some other things that. You might want to be aware of before you purchase the shoe first and foremost elephant in the room if you've been reading the reviews you know that when this you came out it was absolutely horrendous in terms of reliability there's a there's a transition here between the eba in the mid sole. And the outsole stealth rubber and. They've cut it down a little bit lower and says sewing it directly into the (upper) of the shoe they've glued it into the eba of the mid sole and that. Saves some weight that makes the shoe light and streamlined but the problem is. That when it flexes here it would. Separate so we haven't had an issue with it haven't seen any bad reviews in a cup in a few months about six months or so actually and so hopefully all the shoes. Are good now, and we're not going to see. That reliability issue the other possible reliability issue is. Because the rubber is so soft it's going. To break down quicker i mean just plain and simple even on fleece issues which she hasn't actually worn that many times with it being winter last few months you. Now you can already see that it's a little bit scuffed up a little bit worn it's probably going to last a really long time though and be a great fit for. This shoe is definitely sitting as the higher performance option in a less reliable package move on to the standard. 510 pre writer i fretted and could not. Decide what i was going to get this shoe is quite a bit cheaper than. The free other contacts that i like that it was you know stickier and more. Streamlined all that that appealed to me but at the same time i needed she was durable i wear my shoes every day and i. Wear them in a lot of different places and i end up doing a lot of hiking biking and so it was important that the. Shoe be durable this shoe as you can see. It's a little bit simpler this is their older design this is 510 classic so it's. Not quite as soft as the mi6 version. That you have in the contact however it's still super sticky this is the rubber that a 510 shoes famous on flat. Pedals and so you're not going to be. Lacking in grip it's a little bit of. A simpler design instead of having that transition with the eba and the outsole. We just have the outsole completely sewn. In to the upper which is more of a leather and cotton construction we. Do have a toe cap but it's not nearly as rigid as what you get on the contact the. Heel cup is a little bit rigid as well but also again not as robust as. What's on the contact i have found this. To be a very comfortable shoe it is quite it's you know stiffness wise not. As stiff as the contact either in contact really is probably going to be. Your higher performer but this is going to be a little bit easier to walk in for the most part that said this is way. Stickier than any sneaker you probably have so this is going to give you great. Power transfer it's going to give good pedal feel and it's just going to be a lot more enjoyable to ride than your. Regular sneaker so it's a great option i. Actually thought it quite entertaining. When i first rode these shoes i realized i could still pick my foot up with the pedal at stop signs and stuff like i. Could do with my clip less pedals i mean you can easily take your pedal up. To 90 degrees if not more just by putting a slight amount of pressure on the forward on that pedal when it comes. Right up no problem so i don't have to take my foot off and scoop up the pedal with my toe nearly as often ah that's the main differences between those two shoes they're both excellent shoes if you're looking for a more durable long-term option that's maybe a. Better value definitely go with the standard free-rider if you're looking for the ultimate and performance and grip and protection, and they're not. Worried about swapping your shoes out as often go with a free rider contact that. Said you know you can probably order the. Regular free rider with a little bit less risk the free rider contact you. Now if you're ordering online there's a good chance you're gonna have to send it back if it's too short because it's not going to be comfortable if it's at all too short and so you know if you have a chance to try it on i really recommend. That you guys have any questions please leave them in the comments down below i. May be trying to keep up with this one video week thing and maybe bump it up to. Two if we have time, so we'll catch you later.

All right so i did a review on single. Tracks calm about these free riders and. Put more particularly it was about the free rider contact or lack thereof as. You can see, but we'll get to that so real quickly this was my first pair. Free riders that my wife picked out the. Color these are four and a half years. Old now i think and i still wear these. At times these are a great condition durability i mean i beat these things up. They've been too out in the southeast. Asia Hawaii rocky mountains ozarks all. That out west moab utah i mean these. Things have been beat to snot in your. Washing machine, and they're good both pairs were good i mean the insides award a little bit and there you can see but. Hey there's still a great shoe they held up so then my wife gets me for my. Birthday the brand-new at the time free. Rider contact and not much of it is in. Contact well mainly solvent this shoe. Looked terrific the photos i put on single tracks calm they're a terrific. Looking shoe they kept your feet dry. They're lightweight, and they seem durable but, but they're really they're not i mean they started cracking right here on the ball of your foot pivots at. Your toes and then that is allowed moisture and water all kinds of stuff to get in their sander the reinforced toe. If these aren't snug and tight it. Doesn't matter there's time when just bumps your toe that's pretty irritable. The grip the performance of the shoe initially was it was fantastic and. People like hey this is great and the. Videos that were online okay they're great but the durability it's not there. It's not there at all this came off in a manner i think in the first month or two this was already starting to separate right here on the side so just after where the stitching is here to kind of keep it on the shoe and where the ball of your foot is pivoting a lot of picking up setting it down if you do a. Lot of actual free riding and you like to have fun this is this going to get tore up and the other ones just like it — it started kind of coming apart there. Inside and then it's just i don't know. It was disappointing the inside stayed. Good they're comfortable but I'll never. Buy this type again and then again here's another free rider went back to. This original style free rider and this. Is I've had these four since december. Yeah since december and these have been getting beat up as well, but they're solid it's like you can't go wrong only. Think with these is they got ripped by. My straight lines i think one of the pins caught on the side you know trying. 360 i don't know what i did but anyway. So i would stay away from the contact. The contact was not it was not a durable. Shoe at all it didn't even last me a. Year i think six months i gave it up i went back to these started using these and then i would have these i keep these. Around if I'm if i don't want to be these up too bad i don't even know I'd do that sure dish winter but anyway. There's my three to five minutes spill on why this was a poor choice and pink. And i would not get them and i would go. With something else have a good one. Ride on ride safe.

To cap it off, pre-drilled slots under the toes accommodate steel toe spikes for digging in during hike-a-bike situations and extra gnarly trails

Pearl Izumi Race Road V5 Cycling Shoe - Women's

Making the big move from entry-level to advanced road shoes can be intimidating, and with so many features, and price tags that will make you shudder, we don't blame you for taking your time weighing the options. Thankfully, over time you'll find that technology has a tendency to trickle down from the top-dollar shoes to midrage, packing in top-tier features with a price that's a bit more palatable to the average cyclist. Pearl Izumi's Race Road V5 Cycling Shoe for women gives us a true example and ideal pick for seasoned vets, intermediate cyclists, and newbies looking to score support that will last for years.

The specs on this particular shoe don't stray too far from top end kicks, and as such we find it remarkable to hit the nail on the head for lightweight, stiff power transfer, and such an excellent fit at this price point. A 3-Layer Seamless Composite Upper offers nice breathability and eliminates any hot spots by adapting to your foot's shape allows you to focus on the ride and not aching feet. The bi-directional Boa closure pulls the laces from both sides ensuring equal tension, while the 1:1 Zero Distraction Upper Fit mitigates foot discomfort by eliminating excessive pressure on the soft tissues running along the top of the foot.

On the sole, the 1:1 Composite Power Plate with carbon fiber forefoot insert provides lightweight stiffness and durability ensuring that your power gets delivered directly to the pedals. Direct-Vent technology in the sole allows your feet some much-needed air circulation while the EVA foam and rubber heel bumpers let you confidently walk to the front of the line and order your Americano. And unlike most dedicated road shoes, these will work with 3-bolt road and 2-bolt mountain bike cleats so it's compatible with almost every pedal system on the market.

Giro Riela RII Cycling Shoe - Women's

Hit the trails for a day of rolling singletrack or push it even further to full-blown backcountry adventure in the Giro Riela RII Shoes for women. Built with tough uppers, rugged outsoles, and footbeds that keep you comfortable from first to last mile, the Riela RII's are hungry for the trail, and with Giro's sleek styling, you don't have to stress hitting the brewery for a post ride pale ale with the ladies.

The Riela RII uses the same over all construction as her predecessor, the Riela R, with three hook-and-loop straps securing your foot in, and microfiber uppers, but those of us who get a wicked case of hot-foot on most rides get a big win with the addition of large mesh panels along the toe box and lateral portions of the shoes. The microfiber still uses perforations, just as it used to, to help with venting, but the added mesh aids in moisture transfer, helping your feet stay cool and comfortable all day long. A comfortable EVA footbed gives you the support you need inside of the shoe to stay comfortable, and underneath, a nylon injected outsole stiffens things up, so you don't waste your energy on a shoe flexing under your pedal stroke, and instead transfer that power directly to the bike.

The outsole is also topped off with hearty portions of rubber lugs that add traction to the shoe, so when you have to make your way through river beds or up steep, rocky faces, you'll have the grip you need to do it safely. To cap it off, there is a large recessed cleat pad underneath your foot, so you have plenty of room to lock in any 2-bolt mountain cleat, so you can clip into your favorite pedals and ride off into the sunset.

Shimano SH-ME3 Cycling Shoe - Women's

A good day of mountain biking starts when you hear the click of cleat into pedal and you start spinning your legs towards the trailhead. Give your feet something to be happy about when you start laying down the power with the Shimano SH-ME3 women's cycling shoes. With a recreationalist's balance of comfort and performance, they feature a middle level of flex, allowing for the stiffness necessary for laying down power but enough flex that you won't be cursing them when you need to hike-a-bike,

The sole starts out with lightweight rubber, and an all-around tread, so you have traction in all conditions when you're not on the bike, and a TORBAL midsole allows for your natural flow motion while in the saddle. Fiberglass reinforcement on the midsole gives you the stiffness you need for mashing up punchy climbs without adding much weight, and still allowing for comfortable flex.

Up top, supple synthetic leather wraps your foot securely, and a mesh patch near the toes helps prevent roasted piggies on sun-blanched trails. Holding your foot in place are two hook-and-loop straps over your forefoot and instep, and a reverse-buckle up top offers precise tightening that ratchets down, hiding the excess strap so it doesn't get hung up on trail debris. The shoe is built on a women's specific last, so it's narrower than Shimano's men's line, providing a fit tuned more towards our narrower feet. This is especially prevalent in the ankle, where it's slim and hugs your heel into place, preventing slipping on a climb laden with power moves.

Giro Riela RII Cycling Shoe - Women's

Hit the trails for a day of rolling singletrack or push it even further to full-blown backcountry adventure in the Giro Riela RII Shoes for women. Built with tough uppers, rugged outsoles, and footbeds that keep you comfortable from first to last mile, the Riela RII's are hungry for the trail, and with Giro's sleek styling, you don't have to stress hitting the brewery for a post ride pale ale with the ladies.

Fi'zi:k R3B Donna Boa Cycling Shoe - Women's

Improving upon the already unbelievable R3 Donna Women’s Cycling Shoe isn’t an easy thing to do. Leave it to the folks at Fizik to make great even greater. At the heart of the new shoe is the unbeatable precision of the Boa dial-in closure system. This closure system makes dialing a perfect fit easy, even if you need to make micro-adjustments on the fly.

The R3’s closure system starts with a conventional hook-and-loop strap close to the toe for near-infinite forefoot width control. Moving up the front of the foot, the Boa Cable dial-in closure system snakes its way through four separate anchor points for complete control all the way up to the tongue. For an extreme control over volume, or simply to efficiently clean the inside of the shoe, Fizik designed the tongue pad to be fully-removable.

To further control slippage, the R3 Donna has shaped the heel cup at the aft position of the shoe. This feature keeps the foot in the perfect position on hard up-strokes and while climbing out of the saddle. As a result, you're powering the pedals comfortably and efficiently. This has been further heightened by a variable stiffness sole construction. The base layer is an ultra-stiff carbon fiber-reinforced plate.

Fizik went above and beyond to make the R3 extremely breathable. This might not be obvious, given the R3's lack of traditional mesh ventilation. However, the uppers of the shoe feature Fizik's own Microtex microfiber—the same material used on Fizik saddles and bar tape. This material keeps your feet breathing and comfortable on long summer days in the saddle. And for the insole, Fizik included its own Cycling Insole. And while its not custom moldable like with the R1, it does incorporate a thoughtful design that assures comfort by absorbing road vibration and supporting your arch system.

Pearl Izumi X-ALP Canyon Cycling Shoe - Women's

Your idea of a fun weekend ride might be a few laps at the local trail network— but sometimes you dive deeper, pack up your bike with a few days worth of supplies, and head beyond the trails most traveled. You know your riding is versatile, and with your feet being your biggest contact point with the bike, it's important that they are, too. That's why Pearl Izumi built the Women's X-ALP Canyon Mountain Bike Shoes with a beefy, reliable tread, and bonded synthetic uppers that let your feet breathe when you're lugging your bike over-shoulder across a river, or up through overgrown sections of trails long forgotten.

The X-ALP Canyon shoes feature a bonded synthetic top with ample mesh panels that keep your feet from baking on hot trails. They are low-cut at the ankle to provide a light and fast fit that allows for natural ankle rotation off of the bike. While flex is good for miles on foot, a stiff sole is a must for power transfer on the bike, so Pearl equips the X-ALP Canyon's with a nylon composite shank to maximize power transfer to the pedals, without compromising torsional flex for hiking. Underneath the shank you'll find a lightweight EVA midsole that cushions your steps comfortably, and a beefy carbon-rubber lugged outsole that provides directional traction on foot. The center of the shoe is ready for clipping in with 2-bolt SPD compatibility that sits recessed and out of the way of your lugs, so your cleats don't get hung up on rocks when you're making your way up steep faces.

Scott Road Comp Boa Reflective Lady Cycling Shoe - Women's

And considering that it provides all of the same benefits as the popular Road Comp Boa, it's a good option for your everyday riding shoe, too.

The Comp Boa Reflective Lady Cycling shoes wrap your feet in supportive comfort thanks to the adaptive fit upper pattern and the micro-adjustable Boa closure system. Combined with the lower anatomic strap, the shoes articulate to best fit the shape of the rider's foot. They employ Scott's "Sport Fit" which features a larger volume, more relaxed fit that's great for long days in the saddle. The ErgoLogic footbed cushions the underside of your foot, and features adjustable arch and metatarsal support. The composite outsole rates at a 6 out of 10 on Scott's stiffness scale, efficiently transferring power to the pedals while maintaining all-day comfort and off-the-bike walkability.

While you're spinning the pedals, your feet will be wrapped in Diadora's durable Suprell-Buk synthetic upper with breathable Air Mesh panels throughout to ensure they get some ventilation while you're riding. To provide you with a secure fit along your instep, Diadora adds two hook-and-loop straps for you to adjust so you can make sure your feet aren't shifting around while you're pedaling. Along the bottom of the shoe, a composite-reinforced nylon Sport MTB CR outsole guarantees reliable power transfer to the pedals, earning a stiffness rating of six out of 12 on Diadora's overall road and mountain stiffness scale.
