Upping your Peloton game starts at the bottom. That’s right—changing up your indoor cycling shoes also changes how you’ll feel (and perform) during your spin sessions.

While you can wear any of your sneakers for a cycling workout, legit cycling shoes can help keep your hips, knees, and ankles in line while you’re pedaling. They also contain less absorbent cushioning, so when you pedal all that power is going right back into the bike, Schuyler Simms, indoor cycling instructor at CYCLED! Studios, explains.

See some of the best Peloton-compatible shoes below:

Factors like the fit, closure systems, and sole material all contribute to how you'll feel (and perform) during your cycling workouts. "When your feet are comfortable and supported, you will be better able to tap into and build strength in your workout," says Peloton instructor Christine D'Ercole. "You will be able to work harder when needed with a more efficient transfer of power, which in turn will better serve your fitness goals and enjoyment of the ride overall.”

Luckily, there are great options (and colors) worth buying for every budget—some even include cleats. Read on to see the top-rated Peloton shoes, according to experts and customer reviews.

Rave Review: "I bought this pair of shoes without expecting too much from them. However, these shoes had better quality than some high-price ones...My friends' shoes are more expensive, but are less quality. The fabric feels soft. The cleats are easy to install and very sturdy. These shoes are—without a doubt—the best buy, especially at this price."
