Best Women’s Cycling Shoes 2020

Cycling has exploded in popularity amongst women in the UK and USA, from road racing to mountain biking.  Therefore, the market for women’s cycling shoes has expanded greatly in the last five years, giving a lot for brands to choose from. Cycling shoes are comprised of a compact design which equips a rider with support for their feet and enables them to put more effort on the pedals creating room for more power.

Since their discovery, researchers and scientists have come up with new types of these cycling shoes. Each company producing the women bike shoes, for example, muddy fox and Shimano has an aim of marketing and selling their product more than their competitors. These companies spend millions to modify their biking shoes to fit the demands of the consumers. One company must produce either the best or the worst shoe fitting to the market.

We have been researching women’s cycling shoes from all the main sites: Amazon, Wiggle, Evans and Halfords.  Since we have started getting many female riders from the USA reading our site, we have also looked at the top cycling sites in the USA: JensonUSA and Competitive Cyclist.

We created our own system to score each cycling shoe, factoring in: Brand reputation, user reviews and price.

Factors to consider when buying female cycling shoes

There are very many factors to consider when buying dedicated cycling shoes, here’s a few of the main points:

-The material used. Ideally, you want a real leather cycling shoes for durability and comfort.

-Price. If you are not competing in races, then you can buy a decent cycling shoe for under £100. Most of the shoes we have reviewed below are between £50-£100, but we will keep the post updated if we find any deals.

-Cleats or flat shoes. Do you want your shoes to clip into the pedals?  If you are competing in road races, having your cycling shoes ‘clipped in’ allows you to create more speed as you are still effectively peddling when you lift your feet up on the rotation.

-Weather conditions.  If you think you will be riding in the rain, make sure the cycling shoes are waterproof or can be treated.

Here’s our list of the top women’ cycling shoes for 2020.
