My First Spinning Class...

YW.....

out of curiosity, i checked out the specialized site for shoes on sale. saw that they had my 01 mountain sports on closeout.......for $20. the sizes were limited, but still.....you might get lucky. i've had my pair for almost 3 years. they're great.

I think I will wait until I am going more often and then think about buying the special shoes. Thanks for all the feedback

I've seen them from $50-$100+. I wasn't aware that you need seperate clips. I think my gym has the type where you just snap them in...not sure though.

I think the place that I took the class had bikes that you could just snap in, too...

i'm not sure what pedals they use at your gym. but let's see if i can explain what they use at mine.......

the pedals have toe clips(that your toes just slip into, and you wear regular shoes), and the metal lock in clips. the pedal has the female part of the clip. the bike shoes have the male part of the clip. however, most bike shoes don't come with the male part in the box. that is purchased separately, and are sold at mist bike shops. the male part of the clip screws into the sole of the shoe.

anyway.....i'm not trying to be a know-it-all. just sharing what i've experienced.

not at all red...your experience is very welcome! I'm the first to say, "what do I know anyway!"
