When buying a pair of cycling shoes it is important to find the right fit. Being a performance piece of equipment it's important that the shoes fit properly in order for the rider to fully benefit from the features of the shoe, as well as avoid injury. Purchase a cycling shoe that fits well from the moment you try them on. Cycling shoes are stiff and made of material that does not stretch or break in much. When cycling your toes will swell with exertion and heat, ensure your cycling shoes have enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly in order to avoid blisters and discomfort. The overall shoe should feel snug and your footbed well supported. The heel should be locked into the heel of the shoe, with no room for play. Cycling shoes are often labeled in European sizes, each manufacturer should have a size chart that is best reviewed when choosing your size. You can find these charts next to the "Description" button on the product page for any cycling shoe on our website.
