Either the same athletic shoe you’d use for a regular Spin® class OR a Mountain Biking style cycling shoe. Most of us wear the Mountain Biking shoe to get the best of both worlds. You still get the benefits of wearing a clip when riding, but you get the flexibility of the sole as well so it’s easier to do the sculpting (like lunges) we do on the floor. If you use a road biking shoe, typically the cleat sticks out making balancing tough and the stiff sole makes some of the footwork we do in Spin®Sculpt challenging.

Most Studio SWEAT trainers wear Tiem shoes, mainly because they are best to wear on and off the bike (for sculpting), or PEARL IZUMI has some great options, like the X-Road line. Check out Amazon, they have great options!  Also, check your local bike store as they will typically have a few in stock so you can at least figure out your size and what you like or don’t like.
