can anyone recommend a comfy, supportive pair of spin shoes? i have plantar fasciitis and its been really bothering me since i started to spin in my nikes, and was thinking maybe if i find a pair of spinning shoes that will give me that arch support i may do better, and will cotinue with spinning, as i really like it now!

would love to know your thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to recommend a certain brand because it's really what feels best for you. When I got my spin shoes, I tried on several pairs before I found one that felt comfortable. Keep in mind you will be wearing them for years so they need to feel good! After all, you won't outgrow them and probably won't wear them out either!
The pedals used to dig into my feet too. Spin shoes totally eliminate that feeling. I think you'll be glad you bought a pair!

I have plantar facititis also. Do you see a podiatrist or use any orthotics? I get orthotics custom made every year or two and they seem to really help. The brand of shoe that works for me the best is Asics. I hope you find something that works!

After reading your post, I googled spin bike shoes. I didn't realize that the side of the pedal opposite the toe clips was engineered to accept a Shimano "SPD" clip so I am going to have to check out the bikes we have and see if they are like that. May have to shop for a pair of shoes that have the *SPD" clip on the bottom.
