You may think I ride in cycling shoes, and ‘clip-in’ pedals. 

I don’t. 

Cycling Shoes never worked for me. 

I found them uncomfortable and too restraining. 

You may say, ‘Oh, you have not found the right ones yet.’ 

Yeah, no. 

I prefer to have a firm, wide, flat soled shoe that fits well and is comfortable. 

One I do not want to take off every time I stop. 

One I do not want to flick across a parking lot. 

One I will still be wearing, long after the ride is done. 

I have mountain bike pedals on my bikes. 

Beauties. 

Big. 

Heavy. 

Wide. 

Solid. 

Spiked. 

Serious steel spikes that make their way into the sole. 

It is my way of ‘clipping in.’ 

I prefer to push/pull on big wide solid pedals and not with a narrow shoe and a tiny pedal. 

It works for me. 

I get more force. 

Comfortable force. 

Solid force. 

Solid power transfer. 

Fluid. 

‘A comfortable shoe makes a comfortable mind.’ 

I discovered one style of shoe. 

It works for what I want my shoe to be. 

Lucky for me, it is a style of shoe that has the best style of any shoe. 

Skateboard. 

Yes, skateboard. 

Comfortable. 

Breathable. 

Durable. 

Longevity. 

Flat soled. 

Toe room. 

I have a few pairs of great SB shoes. 

I wear them on my rides, and I wear them out. 

Wear them out at night. 

I don’t want to get detailed here. 

It would take a few posts just to explain the different types of SB Shoes, the pros and cons of each type, and what makes up a good pair. 

This is a great link that delves into the details of SB Shoes.

I wear ‘Low-Tops,’ 

I just want to introduce the idea of riding with Skateboarding shoes in this post. 

I will get into specific models, brands, what that shoe has, and why I love it. 

I was going to attach a specific link to a specific pair in this post. 

But I think I will leave it general. 

Just an overview. 

Plus, the link above is from a great store.

WARNING 

You may leave with a pair. 

‘If the shoe fits, buy it in every colour’’
