TIEM x PEGACTIVE: an instructor's honest review on tiem's cycling shoes.

glamorous CYCLING shoes for the modern athlete? YES. so excited to have finally tested out my TIEM shoes & several of you babes have asked me about these fabulous cycling shoes. thank you, TIEM for the opportunity to collaborate with you & share my thoughts as an indoor cycling instructor. 

c/o TIEM // wearing their  slipstream- black black , an SPD compatible cycling shoe with the look & feel of your favorite sneakers.

why I LOVE:

• the design. SO sleek. you won't even notice these are spin shoes if you're not looking hard enough. especially the black on black. so chic. 
• the feel on my feet! as an athlete & trainer, i'm constantly in sneakers & moving..it's important to have shoes that provide ultimate comfort. the last thing you want when spinning is to feel like your foot is being "smooshed up". you should be able to relax your toes & i'm able to in these! (see below)
• you can wear them ON & OFF the bike. perfect for when i'm on-the-go. let's be real, when our full fit looks good, we feel good, right? 
• easy to put together. each shoe has a recessed channel in the underside of the sole to attach SPD cleats {sold separately but available on their website} & the cleats are SUPER easy to attach. I personally took them into a bike store, but it took the bike technician less than 5 mins. in & out.  ACCESSORIES, CLEATS + MORE.

how they ride:

• clipping in to the bike is fairly simple!  the shoes are SUPER light so I don't even notice them on me while i'm riding. 
• comfortable & breathable  
• the strap could be a bit tighter, but as long as you pick the CORRECT size, you'll be good to go. they fit great! definitely make sure to take note of the fit guidelines on the website before ordering. TIEMs run large so I was advised to order half a size down from my normal shoe size.
