You have a few choices here. You can wear a comfortable athletic shoe that has a fairly stiff sole. In this case you would usually use a pedal with a toe cage. If you have pedals that have a clip/cleat system you can use Spinning® or Cycling shoes (they are the same whether used on an indoor bike or a regular road or mountain bike). Cycling shoes are not required by any means. We do highly recommend them if you can because it allows for more pull action, which results in a more fluid pedal stroke making the ride smoother and more effective. If you buy the shoes, don’t forget you need to buy the cleats as well. The cleats are sold with the pedals in some cases or individually, but they are usually not included with the shoes.
