Hey i'm looking for cycling shoes for my mom who is an amateur road biker... she started this summer and she's doing 30-50 mile rides about 2-3 times a week. I'm not experienced in this area by no means at all but her bday is coming up and I wanted to get her shoes to go with her bike (she just has cages now)


Cannondale Women's Roam Cycling Shoe $70
Cannondale Womens Carve MTB $100
Diadora Wmns Deko Road Cycling $80
Diadora Wmns Ergo Plus cycling Shoe $140
Diadora Geko Mountain bike Shoe (wmn) $50

Not knowing what type of pedal her bike has...
I would recommend Specialized Comp Road. Should run you about 90 bux. Accepts cleats with the SPD-R, SPD and Look/SPD-SL bolt patterns.

allright, hands down the best pedals out there are crank borthers. There soild and they even look wicked. They cost a bit more then most pedals but you can beat their quality

d'oh! I just re-read your original post...
Got brothers or sisters? Have them buy your mom clipless pedals and you get her the shoes.
