Buying Guide

Cleat compatibility

Confirm the shoe's cleat system (delta/3-bolt vs. SPD/2-bolt) matches your Peloton pedal adapter or clipless setup to avoid extra purchases or modifications

Fit and sizing

Look for brands offering unisex or women's-specific sizes and read fit notes—snug heel and midfoot support reduce slipping during high-cadence efforts

Closure system

Choose between straps, ratchets, or BOA-style closures; multiple straps (as found on several models here) provide simple micro-adjustment and even pressure distribution

Stiffness vs. comfort

Stiffer soles improve power transfer on the Peloton but balance them with adequate insole cushioning for comfort during longer classes

Included hardware

Consider models that include pre-installed delta cleats or adapters to save time and ensure immediate Peloton compatibility without sourcing parts separately
