When looking for a cycling shoe as a beginner, Andrew Schuth, a cycling instructor at Crunch Fitness, recommends two or three straps because it allows the rider to adjust the pressure points. "Think of it like tying a shoe. Too tight or too loose with the pressure and you are uncomfortable." Bontrager is one of Schuth's favourite go-to brands for cycling shoes.
