These cycling shoes have a synthetic upper to help keep your feet dry and comfortable, no matter how many cycling sessions you sweat through.

Adidas Indoor Cycling Shoes ($63, originally $140)

When shopping for the best cycling shoes for a Peloton bike, you can't go wrong with a pair from Adidas. They have three-bolt cleat compatibility and designated ventilation zones to help with excess circulation and sweat. And because these Peloton cycling shoes are made in part with recycled materials, they're environmentally conscious, too. Get them in this creamsicle orange, or four other fun colors.

Tommaso Pista Road Bike Cycling Shoe ($71, originally $75)

With dual-cleat compatibility (meaning, you can attach either Delta cleats or two-bolt SPD cleats), this cycling shoe offers the best of both worlds. The sole is made out of reinforced fiberglass for a more powerful and smoother pedal stroke, whether you're using these as cycling shoes for Peloton classes or out on your road bike.

And, yep, these Nike cycling shoes are Peloton-friendly.

Santic Cycling Shoes ($80)

In terms of affordable yet durable cycling shoes, these Santic cycling shoes are a great buy. The heel cup has been thickened by a curved inside structure, so you can work out without worrying about your foot slipping out. Not to mention, the cool blue color will look great against your black and red Peloton bike.

Shimano IC1 Indoor Cycling Shoes ($100)

These sleek Shimano cycling shoes make it easy to slip on your biking shoes and go. They have a similar fit and feel to socks, so your toes will feel supported with plush comfort and plenty of wiggle room to breathe. While customer reviews confirm the shoes are Peloton compatible, you'll still need to purchase cleats separately.

Vittoria Hera Performance Road Cycling Shoes ($100-$110)

These cycling shoes are only made for three-bolt cleats, just like the kind you'll need for your home Peloton bike. These Peloton-compatible cycling shoes feature double straps and an adjustable buckle for stability and flexibility. They're also available to shop in a variety of colorways, so you can shop out a style that's perfect for you and your workout wardrobe.

Giro Stylus W Road Cycling Shoes ($110)

These dual-cleat compatible cycling shoes from Giro are one of the best indoor and outdoor cycling shoes because they combine elite performance with convenience and can fit on basically any bike. Adjust how tight or loose you like to wear your Peloton bike shoes with three easy velcro straps, and allow the shoes to form to your feet with inserted molding heel pads for the utmost comfort.

Tommaso Pista Aria Knit Indoor Cycling Shoe ($62, originally $93)

Durable and breathable, these Tommaso cycling shoes are made to hug your feet without stretching over time and hailed as one of the best shoes for the Peloton bike. They're available to shop with and without cleats, so be sure to purchase the best style depending on your needs.

Nobull Concrete Cycling Shoe ($107, originally $179)

This is the most unique Peloton-compatible shoe on the market. While many cycling shoes use mesh for breathability, Nobull's design features actual ventilation holes. Not only does this mean the shoes retain less heat (and look cool), but they're also lighter, too. Cleats aren't included, so be sure to factor that into your decision.

Peloton Cycling Shoes ($125)

It goes without saying that the Peloton-branded shoes are your safest bet. These Peloton cycle shoes feature a breathable upper and mesh vent with a ratchet clip and velcro straps for a perfectly snug fit. You can even purchase these as an add-on accessory when you buy your Peloton bike.

If you want a comfortable and breathable shoe for Peloton rides, these quick-lace cycling shoes may be the way to go. These Peloton cycle shoes are made with a nylon knit yarn that allows for breathability while ensuring that they won't stretch over time.

Peloton Altos Cycling Shoes ($145)

This pair is a comfortable twist on the brand's original cycling shoes. They're designed with a single Velcro strap that make them easy to slip on and off, and because of the material, you might find that they feel more like socks rather than the typically clunky Peloton cleats.

Rapha Classic Cycling Shoes ($175, originally $250)

If you're looking to splurge, turn your attention to these luxe indoor/outdoor cycling shoes from Rapha, a brand dedicated to creating space for women in cycling. These lightweight and comfortable shoes allow for a powerful ride without your feet slipping, and will stand up to countless hours worn as Peloton shoes or cycling outside on a road bike.
