Gravel Bike Shoes

Gravel shoes from top brands at Sport Conrad

Gravel sports are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to a high-quality gravel bike, the right shoes are also very important in order to achieve the best results and the highest performance. Gravel shoes should therefore be particularly light, but also stable and hard-wearing. In addition, the shoes must fit the pedals and not be too tight or loose.

What is important for shoes for gravel tours

With gravel shoes, it's all about the right interaction between the sole and the gravel bike pedals. Whether you're training or on a tour, the ideal stiffness of the sole of your gravel shoes and the perfect connection with the gravel pedals ensures improved power transmission and therefore higher performance. With the right system, the pedals are not only pedaled downwards, but also pulled upwards, which ensures a smooth pedal stroke and a higher cadence.

However, there are other features that should be considered when buying gravel shoes, such as fabric, fit and compatibility with pedals.

Carbon & polymer shoes

The fabric of the sole plays an important role in gravel shoes. As gravel shoes should be very light, yet stable and hard-wearing, there are various models made of carbon and plastic.

While carbon as a fabric for gravel shoes offers a very high level of stiffness and is also lightweight, plastic is somewhat heavier but also less stiff. However, gravel shoes made of plastic have the advantage that they are also cheaper. Which fabric you choose for your gravel shoes therefore depends entirely on your price expectations and preferred properties.

The climate management of gravel shoes also plays a major role. Especially in summer when temperatures are high, air-permeable and breathable fabrics ensure pleasant air circulation. Waterproof fabrics guarantee dry feet even in the rain, while additional gravel shoe insulation offers advantages in winter.

The ideal fit for gravel shoes

The comfort of your shoes is also particularly important for gravel riders. If the gravel shoes are too tight on the foot, this causes friction, pressure points and unpleasant blisters. Gravel shoes should therefore always be adapted to the individual foot shape. As women often have narrower feet, gravel shoes for women are also specially adapted to the anatomy of their feet. Our Scott shoes for gravel, for example, ensure a comfortable fit without pain thanks to the Fit System.

The right shoes for the pedals

The perfect gravel shoes are useless if they do not match the click system of the pedals on the gravel bike. The pedals and pedal plates must therefore match the sole standard. Unfortunately, not all gravel clipless pedals are compatible with every shoe.

The most widespread is the Shimano clipless system. The SPD system ensures optimum power transmission between pedals and gravel shoes and promises easy handling when getting on and off the bike. There is also a more robust 2-hole system, which has been specially designed for trekking and MTB shoes. Magpad, Look, Speedplay and other brands also offer innovative click systems.

Many gravel shoes can be used with the most common clipless pedals. However, there are also pedal plate adapters that offer a good alternative if you don't want to buy new gravel shoes. Hybrid systems that work with both everyday and gravel shoes are also an option.
