TIEM Slipstream – Indoor Cycling Shoe, SPD Compatible – Women’s

I recently stumbled upon the TIEM Slipstream Indoor Cycling Shoes, and I must say, they have completely transformed my indoor cycling experience. As someone who has tried numerous types of cycling shoes in the past, the convenience and versatility offered by these shoes are simply unparalleled.

First and foremost, one of the standout features of the TIEM Slipstream shoes is their unique design, which seamlessly combines the style of a casual sneaker with the functionality of cycling shoes. This means that I no longer have to worry about changing shoes when transitioning from my car to the studio. The ability to wear them from the car straight into the studio is a game-changer, saving me time and hassle.

The fact that the Slipstream shoes are SPD compatible is another huge advantage. With these shoes, I can effortlessly clip into my bike pedals, ensuring a secure and efficient cycling experience. It’s wonderful to have that extra level of connection and control between my feet and the bike, enhancing my overall performance and power output.

What I appreciate most about the TIEM Slipstream shoes is their commitment to providing a comfortable fit. The shoes are designed specifically for women, taking into account the unique shape of our feet. The soft, breathable materials used in their construction make for a snug yet flexible fit, allowing me to pedal with ease for extended periods without discomfort or hot spots.

While the clips for the shoes are sold separately, it’s worth mentioning that this feature adds to the versatility of the Slipstream shoes. With the ability to customize the type of clip, I can easily adapt them to suit my preferred style of riding or swap them out if needed.

Overall, I cannot recommend the TIEM Slipstream Indoor Cycling Shoes enough. They offer a perfect balance of style, convenience, and functionality. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, these shoes are a worthy investment that will enhance your indoor cycling experience. Say goodbye to the hassle of changing shoes and embrace the freedom and confidence these shoes provide.

I bought these on the recommendation of the instructor at my spinning studio…very comfortable fit… best feature are the recessed cleats…I have been renting Shimano shoes…those cleats protrude from the bottom and they are difficult to walk across the concrete floor…they also place your foot higher on the pedal…these TIEMS position your foot right on the pedal…just feels more natural to me.

These cycle shoes are comfortable! I love the sneaker feel it has to it as well. They are comfortable to cycle in and walk in when you clip out of the bike. Great quality! I have taken over 700 spin classes in these and I am just now needing to get a new pair! Buy these if you are looking for a quality and comfortable cycle shoe!

Based on other reviews, I got these with no real expectations but I have been VERY pleasantly surprised!

I bought these to wear in my spin class. I live two blocks from my studio so a shoe I could walk back and forth in was a plus for me.

Fit: I wear an 8.5 or 9 in street shoes, and I wear an 9.5 in Brooks and Asics running shoes. I had been wearing size 41 Shimano road cycling shoes rented from my studio. I had orginally purchased a pair of LG road shoes in 41 and they were way too tiny and narrow.

Based on reviews I read, I bought a 9.5 in the TIEMs. They do seem to run a TINY bit narrow, but not uncomfortably so. They feel secure in class. I have just enough room in the toe.

Performance: I had read a couple of reviews stating that people felt the TIEMs were not stiff enough under the foot when clipped in, but I did not have that experience. They do feel very much like a cycling shoe, and have a stiff hard plastic under the center of the foot, so riding out of the saddle is just fine. They have more cushioning than other cycling shoes, which I really liked. I was comfortable the entire class, more comfortable than I am normally in the Shimanos.

I do feel the cleats on the ground when waking on asphalt and cement, however walking around my home with hardwood floors was fine. Cleat installation was SUPER easy. I keep seeing people say they took them to a bike shop to do it but honestly it’s just a matter of screwing them into the shoe.

Overall, I’m super happy with this purchase, I’ll cover the cost of shoe rental in about two months, so they are well worth it, especially given the increased comfort, not having to change shoes at the studio, and that they are just cute.

Pros: This shoe comes in actual (US) half sizes! Of the 20+ spin shoes I looked at, it was the only one. It was the most accurate shoe in length that I tried. The sole is great for walking in, which makes them great for spin class: you can walk across the gym floor without falling down. The heal does not slip. The knit fabric makes the shoes as comfortable as your gym shoes. They also seem to be made well. They are nice looking.

Cons: The shoe is one piece (no tongue). It is a very snug fit, which is good for keeping the shoe in place while cycling. However, it is so snug that it actually puts my feet to sleep and causes pain. This is because I have high insteps. I have friends who have this shoe, and they have no problem. They love their shoes. Also, there is no arch support . Inserting an arch support just makes the tight instep tighter.
So, if you have high insteps, need arch support, or if you have wide feet you won’t be able to wear these shoes.
