Pearl Izumi SELECT Road V5 Studio Cycling Shoe – Men’s

You’re committed to cycling now and short days and bad weather won’t keep you from getting on your bike even if that means indoors on the trainer or rollers or a spin class session. Pearl Izumi’s SELECT Road V5 Studio Cycling Shoe for Men lets you keep your expensive cycling shoes for longer rides when the weather breaks and provides a set of dedicated shoes for the gym. The materials and construction itself are specifically built to endure the challenging environment, such as hot and humid conditions, of indoor cycling. It’s equipped to handle three-bolt road and two-bolt mountain cleats so it’ll work with virtually any cleat you’re currently using including those popular on spin bikes.

The synthetic collar and closed cell foam padding on the Select Studio V5’s help shed sweat, and the anti-microbial upper mesh helps resist odor-causing bacteria and fungus. Inside the shoe, a PE sockliner with Silvadur anti-microbial material adds durability and additional bacterial resistance. Added ventilation holes in the last board add more breathability during those long intervals. You won’t feel bad leaving these shoes in a locker or gear bag as you save your high-end kicks for better days.

Sidi Genius 7 Carbon Mega Cycling Shoe – Men’s

It’s hard to overstate the reputation Sidi shoes have earned over the past few decades, earning a cult-like following throughout the peloton and amongst self-sponsored cyclists alike. Built with extra circulation-saving space to free your toes from the confines of regular-width shoes, the Genius Fit Carbon Mega Shoe is the stuff of dreams for wide-hoofed cyclist. Stock up on a few pairs of these to keep cramped toes and pressure points a thing of the past on your road rides.

The Genius Fit Carbon closes with Sidi’s beloved ratcheting buckle system and two hook-and-loop straps, giving you freedom to make minute adjustments along your instep and working with a plush Soft Arch Compression Strap to prevent numbness and pressure from interrupting your pedal stroke. Sidi uppers are known for being some of the toughest of all, so throw any amount of rain, humidity, and road grit at the Technomicro synthetic uppers and be prepared to wait years before you see any significant signs of wear. Sidi balances their durability with well-placed mesh vents along the uppers, which prevent the inside of the shoe from resembling the walls of a greenhouse during hot rides. Finally, Sidi rounds out the Genius Fit with its Millennium 4 Carbon Composite outsole. The rigid platform will energetically deliver power from your legs to your frame, refusing to flex even when you’re throwing watts onto the pedals at the end of a climb.

Giro Republic LX R Cycling Shoe – Men’s

Giro’s Republic LX R Shoes are for the dapper cyclist who wants to look great on their ride or commute. We’ve always enjoyed the Republics for a look that’s hard to tell where the dress shoe stops and the cycling shoe begins. Available in two beautiful colorways, these shoes are sure to get you noticed by cyclists and non-cyclists alike.

We wouldn’t in the least be surprised to see a bike leaning up against a shoe shine stand and a cyclist getting these leather uppers buffed up. Features like that and the micro-suede heel counter add a touch of elegance and like any fine shoe, comfort isn’t lost to style. Giro uses a molded EVA footbed with a medium level of arch support providing comfort over a gentleman’s fondo or a fierce alley cat. The lace closure, also seen on Giro’s top-of-the-line performance shoes, get the call here for the near custom fit and aesthetics. New on these shoes is the new nylon and rubber co-molded outsole for improved durability and better traction for stable footing while you’re off the bike. The sole is compatible with 2-bolt cleats and provides a stiff platform for efficient pedaling.

Sidi Dragon 5 Mega Cycling Shoe – Men’s

The Sidi Dragon 5 Mega Mountain Bike Shoe offers the same features as the standard Dragon 5, but is built with Sidi’s Mega last for a higher volume fit. The Mega fit is 4mm wider across the ball of the foot and has a higher instep and a wider heel cup to accommodate riders needing some extra room for their feet. The Dragon 5 Mega happens to be Sidi’s top mountain bike offering that’s available in the Mega fit, and is the descendant of the highly-successful Dragon 4 Mega. The new Dragon 5 Mega sees revised uppers, a more breathable tongue, a new heel cup, and a sleeker Soft Instep Closure Strap. The SRS Carbon Composite sole remains the same though, providing the stiffness you need for putting power to the pedals but with a bit of engineered flex that makes these shoes more comfortable to walk in than Sidi’s top-tier shoes with a full carbon sole. This makes the Dragon 5 Mega better-suited to adventurous riding that may require dismounts, as well as cyclocross racing.

The Dragon 5 Mega shoes are constructed using Sidi’s Techpro Microfiber uppers—an eco-friendly synthetic leather that’s incredibly durable, lightweight, water-resistant, and offers comfortable support for your foot. The uppers are also mated to a redesigned heel cup that improves heel retention while saving weight over the previous version, as well as a new tongue that’s more ventilated to improve the shoe’s breathability. The uppers come in new matte colorways, and feature a reinforced toe guard to protect against rock strikes.

Additional updates include the Soft Instep 4 Closure System, which uses a sleeker and lighter upper strap that’s adjustable side to side so you can center it across the highest part of your foot. The strap fastens down using Sidi’s Tecno-3 Push Dial, letting you make micro-adjustments in order to dial in the perfect tension for this critical area. An additional Tecno-3 dial below the strap allows further adjustments, and paired with the padded tongue provides exceptional comfort for the top of your foot. The toe box is adjustable as well using a High Security hook-and-loop strap.

Of all the technologies Sidi built into the Dragon 5 Mega in order to help it withstand on-trail abuse, the Sole Replacement System (the SRS in SRS Carbon Composite sole) may be our favorite. SRS is simply the ability to replace the lugs and guard plates on the outsole, refreshing the shoe’s grip so they can continue to last season after season. The SRS system also accommodates two toe spikes for extra traction when conditions are especially slick.
