A dual purpose miming and cycling shoe. The shoe can include an upper portion, an outsole portion, and a midsole portion disposed between the upper portion and the outsole portion. The shoe can also include a rigid plate that is configured to selectively couple to a clipless cycling pedal. The rigid plate can be disposed between the upper portion and the outsole portion, and the rigid plate can extend along a horizontal axis at least partially from an end portion of a heel portion of the rigid plate towards an oppositely located end portion of a toe portion of the rigid plate.

The present disclosure is directed to cycling shoes, and in particular to indoor cycling shoes, having an outer shoe body configured to receive an inner, removable upper. Advantageously, in some implementations the outer shoe body does not include shoe components that become wet during use and are slow to dry, such as fabric (synthetic leather, real leather, Nylon mesh, etc.), padding, or an insole The functionality of these components is instead provided by the removable and easy to dry upper.

The invention relates to the field of the footwear industry, namely footwear (5) with a sole (6) of variable dimensions. The proposed method of dimensional change of the footwear sole (6) and the footwear (5) include a sole (6) of variable dimensions, the height of which may increase or decrease or return to the initial position, depending on the position of the sole (6) in contact with the supporting surface. The method of changing the height of the sole (6) of the footwear (5) proposed according to the invention facilitates climbing uphill, stairs, downhill, cycling by creating an effect of upward acting escalator without jerking or an effect of downward acting escalator without jerking, respectively.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a pedal for a bicycle that includes a body, a spindle rotatably secured to the body and for connection with the bicycle, a first magnetic platter non-rotatably secured within the body, and a second magnetic platter rotatably secured within the body and overlaying the first magnetic platter. The first and second magnetic platters each include two magnetic blocks that are separated and magnetically charged by a respective permanent magnet plate positioned therebetween. The second magnetic platter includes a keyed protrusion configured to be engaged by a ferrous metal cleat, which can rotate the second magnetic platter between a first position where the pedal is in a magnetically inactive state and a second position where the pedal is in a magnetically active state magnetically securing the cleat to the second magnetic platter.
