If you\u2019re putting in plenty of outdoor miles year-round and can only budget for one pair of cycling shoes, a road-specific pair will probably serve you better than triathlon bike shoes in most scenarios. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With no transitions to think about, road shoes will prioritise a secure and comfortable fit, with a more robust build than triathlon-specific bike shoes<\/a><\/strong>. Within the road shoe category, there are numerous variations depending on what you\u2019re primarily using them for.<\/p>\n

Those made to excel on climbs and in warm weather will have light, airy uppers with an emphasis on keeping the weight down, while shoes designed to hack British winters will have tougher, synthetic, sometimes even leather, uppers.<\/p>\n

Of course, for temperatures in single digits it\u2019s extremely wise to add thermal overshoes on top to keep your feet toasty, no matter what type of shoe you go for.<\/p>\n

The 11 pairs in this grouptest range from entry- level options, invariably with nylon soles and basic synthetic uppers, through to high-end shoes with full carbon or carbon-injected soles for more stiffness, and more technical uppers designed to hug your foot perfectly while being breathable enough for warm rides. All shoes are unisex, and our test pairs are all size 45.<\/p>\n
