The Bowflex C6 bike allows for either conventional sneakers or cycling cleats with SPD clips. Since I cycle a few times per week, I wanted a shoe that would offer strong arch and ankle support when I'm out of the saddle. I also wanted a pair I could walk in after class without having to change sneakers.
After some research, I settled on the TIEM Slipstream Indoor Cycling Shoe ($130). While they look like normal athletic shoes, they offer extra arch support and a stiffer feel to help save your feet while cycling. You can add a set of clips for $20, but clips are included with the Bowflex bike.
