DREDDY Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 I just got my first pair of road cycling shoes, strapped them on and they fit very nice. Underneat the shoes, it is reinforced with carbon. As soon as i walked onto the tiles, I almost slipped and fell. It has very small rubber strips at the back and front of the shoe. How do you guys walk with these shoes? You can see this is a newbie asking for help Maybe i need to fit the cleats on this thing and then walk with it Marco Crow 1
Chris_ Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 You'll never need to walk in them without cleats. Put them on and they stay forever. Cleats have rubber contact points underneath which make walking easy, albeit awkward.
Thomo Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Cleats will help a little bit as it places more weight on the heels where the tabs are.Just take care to start.
DREDDY Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 The cleats did not come in the post yet. Ordered a set and was hoping they get delivered with the shoes. Got a bit excited seeing the new shoes. Had to try them on and walk. Pure Savage 1

Always walk carefully when wearing cycling shoes.
TNT1 Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 This thread is useless without pics of new shoes. (I have a problem, I love cycling shoes, I have too many pairs already, but I like looking at new ones as well) capediver, Pure Savage and GMan 3

The Ouzo Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Once the cleat is on, it will be much easier to walk on.but cycling shoes are not made for walking, so keep the walking to a minimum. Pure Savage 1
