Found: Top-Rated Cycling Shoes for Your Peloton That Are Cheaper Than the OGs (2024)

They're lightweight, breathable (shout-out microfiber mesh), have three adjustable straps, come with Delta cleats, and they're pink! What's not to love?!

THE REVIEWS: "These are a great option if you don't want to spend $$ on the Peloton brand," wrote one reviewer. "These come with what is needed to click into the Peloton bike pedals. I've used it for about 15 rides and couldn't be happier with these shoes!"

With a near five-star rating and almost 4,000 glowing reviews, you know these gotta be good. These vegan leather bad boys were legit made for Peloton rides—without the expensive price tag. They come with pre-installed premium Look Delta cleats so they're ready to ride as soon as you get your hands on 'em. I love how sleek this white colorway is!

THE REVIEWS: "They are so compatible with a Peloton!!!" one reviewer wrote. "These are super secure, fit great, and are way more affordable than the Peloton brand sneakers!"

Yes, these are shoes for your Peloton that cost less than $45!! Praise be! Buyers have raved about their comfortability, easy installation, and accurate sizing.

THE REVIEWS: "These are perfect for the Peloton," wrote one reviewer. "They are comfortable and easy to clip in and out. I absolutely love them and would recommend them."

People with wide feet, rejoice! Here is the ideal (and budget-friendly) Peloton-compatible shoe that's super roomy.

THE REVIEWS: "The best cycling shoe for use with Peloton," wrote one reviewer. "They are easy to clip into/ out of the pedals after you make the appropriate adjustments with the tool provided. It is the best value for money well spent. I would highly recommend these cycling shoes to anyone."

If you wanna make a statement, look no further than Nike’s SuperRep Cycle. In addition to giving you your choice of six bright colors and patterns, these gorge shoes will keep you feet from overheating, thanks to the mesh upper, vents plates, and perforated sockliner. Again, you’ll need to buy a pair of Delta cleats to go with these.

THE REVIEWS: "These cycle shoes are the most comfortable cycle shoes ever!!" one reviewer wrote. "They are light, very breathable, and simply very comfortable. I swapped out my Peloton shoes for these and am so happy I did. I just wish I had done it sooner!"

Lightweight, quick-drying, and amazingly sturdy for the price, these bbs are the best budget Spin shoes $$ can buy. They’re compatible with both SPD and Delta cleats, but note that you’ll need to buy a pair of Delta cleats separately to use ’em with your Peloton. (Full disclosure: I use these shoes with my Peloton, and they are A+.)

THE REVIEWS: "I bought these shoes for use with a peloton bike, and while my quads and lungs might be burning during a ride, my feet have no complaints, :-)" wrote one reviewer.

Not only can you ride in these, but you can also use them for a regular workout or just out and about running errands. The recessed cleat mount allows you to use them as ~regular~ shoes because they keep the metal cleats from clicking on the floor. You don't have to pack an extra pair of shoes now!

THE REVIEWS: "I love these shoes," wrote one reviewer. "It's stretchy and easy to put on. The velcro keeps a secure fit, and I like the cleat being recessed in the tread of the shoe. I changed my Peloton's pedals (from the Delta cleat) so I could use these shoes. Now I don't have to change footwear to move from a cycling workout to a mat one."

The perforated design on these cycling shoes allows for maximum ventilation and airflow. Say goodbye to sweaty feet! Heads up: Cleats are not included with the shoes.

THE REVIEWS: "I love these shoes!" one reviewer wrote. "I have been a fan of No Bull for three years or so and have several pairs of runners. I bought a Peloton about six months ago and hated the shoes they advertise. I saw No Bull offered a pair and I knew I had to have a pair. They are way more comfortable, breathable, and secure. I love having laces instead of having velcro loosen during the ride. Do size up! I wear a 5 in runners and the 6 just fits for the cycling shoe!"

You'll look like a professional cycler in this bad-ass red pair! Along with the vibrant color, it's got some notable specs... First off, it already comes with Delta cleats! Huzzah! Second, the single hook and loop velcro strap make it incredibly easy to take on and off—and they make the fit extremely snug without feeling too tight. And it has lil holes at the top of the shoe so the dogs can breathe.

THE REVIEWS: "Wow, this one actually works and is compatible with a Peloton bike," one reviewer wrote. "I have seen lots of shoes that claim to work with Pelotons and don’t or are not compatible. One really nice feature is that they’re not as stiff as the Peloton shoes and are more breathable as well. Having a spare pair of shoes is a good idea as it allows each pair a chance to dry between uses."

Available in white or black, these supple-yet-snug shoes boast a fiberglass-reinforced outsole for optimal power transfer and plentyyy of foot support. They run small, so be sure to order a size up, and yep, you’ll need to get some Delta cleats to go with ’em.

THE REVIEWS: "I tried a bunch of shoes at different spin studios and I have to say these are the comfiest I’ve found," one reviewer wrote. "I bought the Delta clips and it was very easy to install. So very happy with these shoes!"

Unlike most Spin shoes, this quick-drying, highly breathable mesh pair comes with a pair of Delta cleats, so you won’t have to worry about buying them separately. They also come in an array of color options and feature a removable sock liner, so you can customize ’em however you’d like.

THE REVIEWS: "I purchased these shoes for use with my Peloton and I really like them," one reviewer wrote. "They’re comfortable, don't pinch anywhere, and the mesh is very breathable so my feet don’t get too hot and sweaty during a ride."

Designed with a double mesh upper and midfoot cross strap, these highly-rated shoes will keep your feet perfectly cool and snug no matter how high you crank up the resistance. Since they’re unisex, they’re perf for people with wider feet, although you will have to get a pair of Delta cleats separately.

THE REVIEWS: "These are super lightweight and just what I needed for spinning. The sole is very sturdy, enabling you to push right through the uphill portions of your rides. I can’t recommend these anymore," wrote one reviewer.

Available in four cute color options, these breathable mesh shoes feature a stiff full nylon sole for easy pedaling and a rubber heel bumper to make it easier to walk around when you’re not on the bike. You’ll also need to buy a pair of Delta cleats, as they’re not included, and be sure to size up, ’cause these shoes run a lil small.

THE REVIEWS: "This is a great shoe! It fits very comfortably," wrote one reviewer. "I got it for our peloton and it works perfectly. Don’t forget to buy clips too!"

Unlike most Spin shoes, which come with a velcro closure, this stylish pair (which you can get in eight different color options) features a BOA dial and hook-and-loop strap to help you find a super-snug fit. You’ll also love the ventilation provided by the perforated uppers—but once again, you’ll have a shell out $15 extra for some Delta cleats.

THE REVIEWS: "The sole is plenty stiff for me and the price is right. The aesthetics of the shoes are great too," wrote one reviewer.

If most Spin shoes tend to be too narrow for your liking, then you need to check out this pair from CyclingDeal. In addition to having super stiff soles and cushy perforated insoles, these shoes (which come with Delta cleats!!) are ideal for folks with wider feet.

THE REVIEWS: "I recently purchased a Peloton bike, but unfortunately their shoes were too narrow for me. So I decided to browse! I have wide feet, but they are pretty roomy. They don’t feel squished while I’m riding. I am pleased with this purchase!" one reviewer wrote.

Available in eight chic colors, these unisex shoes feature a no-slip grip, large-area ventilation holes for breathability, and an ATOP dial which—just like a BOA dial—helps you find the perfect fit. You’ll have to get a pair of Delta cleats separately, but these shoes do come with a one-year warranty.

THE REVIEWS: "These shoes are a bit less expensive than the Peloton brand shoes but work very well on the Peloton with the attachment of the Delta cleats. These fit well and are easy to loosen and tighten," one reviewer wrote.

Sweaty feet will become a thing of the past if you get this knit pair from Tommaso, which are made with extra-strong nylon yarn that won’t ever stretch out over time and feature a snug lace-up system. As a bonus, these shoes come pre-installed with Delta cleats, so you can wear ’em right out of the box.

THE REVIEWS: "These are lovely," one reviewer wrote. "They are so much more comfortable than the Peloton-branded shoes, which I had been using before this purchase (they are way too narrow for my wide feet). It’s also way, WAY easier to clip in and out with these shoes."
