I've been spinning forever and I cannot get my shoe clipped into this pedal. Have standard SPD cleats that clip in at every gym I have been to.

I have a standard clip on my shoes and get right into this clip. You may have to angle your foot a little differently than what you are use to. Try doing it with the shoe off and eyeball it to see what is going on.

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

The pedal must have slots in it to mount the toe clip in the front , and slots in the back to slip the strap through. If the pedal is just a solid block then this toe will not work.

The foam is cut pretty snug for a normal size pedal. I had to cut mine to fit a double size pedal in place. You can buy more foam and make new custom cuts or use the Velcro with no cuts.

Hi, Julie. No, the pedals that come with the bike will not let you use a spin shoe.

Depends on the pedals. These are SPD cleats. Some bikes will have "Look" style pedals. Ask an instructor or other worker at the gym to be sure what they have.

Loosen the lever. The shoe/plate should drop down (pivot). You might have to force it the first few times if it is tight. Mine was easy to do.

I just wear tennis or running shoes, the slimmer the shoe the. Better it slides in and out of the. Pedal

There is no hard and fast rule for the proper size clips. Probably size "M" medium for your shoe size. I wear a man's size 10 and must use a Large, as an example. However, it all depends upon where the foot hits the pedal with shoes on. The ball of the foot must be directly over the pedal axle. If a medium toe clip will work.... However, if the shoe has a large build up in front of the toe, then a medium size might not work. The large clip is exactly 3 inches beyond the pedal cage and exactly 4 inches from the center of the pedal axle. Put your foot on the pedal and position the ball of your foot centered on the axle. Measure from the center of the pedal axle to the end of the toe box of the shoe, where it would hit the toe clip. If it falls short of 4 inches, then get the medium size, if it is around 4 or maybe a bit less, then try the large. On another topic.... When sitting in the normal position on the saddle, and the pedals horizontal to the ground, you should be able to drop a plumb line from the bony protusion at the side of the knee directly down to the center of the pedal axle. If the plumb line falls short of the axle, then move the saddle forward as far as needed. If it falls forward of the pedal axle, move the saddle back. This technique will allow the proper leverage for the muscles in the leg. It's not a precise science, so just get it as close as possible. To choose the right size of stem, once correctly positioned on the saddle and pedals, then just fall forward to the bars and note your position. If you feel strecthed out a bit, then go for a shorter stem--cramped, then try a longer one or use a swept back riser style bar and move it forward or backwards to obtain a comfortable fit. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask--I was the cycling coach, designer and builder of the bike ridden by the Women's World Triathlon Champion, and a two time World Record holder myself.

That's really a hard question to answer because the toe clips aren't square, they're curved. On my hybrid bike, the toe clips are 3 1/2" from the center of the pedal to the end of the toe clip. The actual toe clip is about 2 1/2" long end-to-end. The height at the end of the toe clip is about 1", but it slopes upward to 2+" at the final top. I wear size 8 1/2 "trail runner" shoes with my bike (the bottom treads are worn somewhat smooth). The trail runners have pull/clamp type of lace, not a normal lace that you need to tie. That way there's nothing to get caught in the chain. However, one important thing is to use metal "cage-type" pedals, and not "composite-type" pedals. The composite pedals are thicker, and when you use the toe clip, it makes the top of the toe clip too thin for my shoes to fit into them. My hybrid has metal cage pedals and the clips work great - I even bought a new bike with metal pedals and moved the toe clips to the new bike. I also bought a mountain bike with composite pedals, and the toe clips are now too low for my shoes. And I'm too cheap to change the pedals. As long as you're pushing up, down, or forward, your foot is "glued" to the pedal. All you need to do is to pull backward and the shoe comes easily out of the toe clip. They're great!!

No, these are large platform pedals that will not accommodate toe clips. However, velcro straps work perfectly for this type of pedal.

No idea, since I haven't taken any Soul cycle class. But you can call someone that works there (reoresentative/instructor) and ask what type of cleats are compatible with their bike pedals.

No. You cant tell by the picture, but the "cleat type system" is integral to the pedals design. Meaning, just clip them in and then twist to remove them. Just like the cleat on your shoe. I have several sets and have used these for some time. They're a great piece of kit.

You don't need shoe clips with these pedals. They are set up to use with regular shoes, though a narrow profile cycling shoe will get you into and out of the straps easier. If you have lock in type shoes, you probably want a "clipless" pedal

Yes. Nice sturdy pedal. I have it on my spinning bike and they are very easy to get in and out of. I use clip side only but straps and toe clip is well made and easy to take off and put back on.

They require about the same movement of removing your feet from this type of pedal compared to clipless. I ride with these on my hybrid and bought a set of clipless for my road bike. These will get you used to having to pulll your foot out and these are harher to get your foot into sometimes compared to clipless.

Try removing one pedal first if you can't do it buy the pedals and take it to a bike shop I doubt they would charge more than 10 dollars to put them on for you.
