Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard entry-level cycling shoes that use stiff synthetic leathers, the Pista Aria uses a technical knit that mimics the feel of a sock. This provides superior moisture-wicking capabilities compared to most competitors in the indoor niche. Furthermore, its dual-cleat compatibility makes it more versatile than shoes limited to only one pedal standard.

How to use it

1. Identify your pedal type (SPD or Delta) and install the corresponding cleats.
2. Slide your foot into the knit upper, ensuring the tongue is centered.
3. Secure the three velcro straps, starting from the toe and moving toward the ankle for a secure lockdown.
4. Clip into your indoor bike and enjoy the enhanced power transfer from the reinforced sole.
5. After use, wipe down the synthetic exterior and allow to air dry to maintain the knit integrity.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Tommaso Pista Aria work with Peloton bikes?

Yes, they are fully compatible with Peloton when equipped with 3-bolt Look Delta cleats.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor road riding?

They are primarily designed for indoor use due to the high-airflow knit, which may let in too much cold air or dust on outdoor roads.

Can I walk in these shoes?

Walking is limited because the cleats protrude from the sole, though they are fine for short distances across a gym floor.

Is the knit upper durable?

The XD-Knit is highly durable and reinforced in high-wear areas to prevent stretching or fraying over time.
