Which shoe is right for you?

Flat or clipless? The decision to use clip-in or flat pedal shoes is based on individual preference, riding style and bike discipline. adidas athletes Darren Berrecloth Samantha Soriano are here to explain the difference between the two and share their tips and tricks.

Climbing Frequently Asked Questions

For an outdoor climbing outfit, pick climbing tights or trousers, a moisture-wicking long sleeve top with UV protection, and a waterproof, breathable jacket.
Wear flexible, lightweight, hard-wearing pants or tights for climbing. adidas trousers have features to make climbing easier, like reinforced pre-shaped knees and fitted cuffs that won’t get in the way.
If it’s your first time climbing, your shirt and pants should be flexible and unrestrictive without being baggy. If you’re outdoors, bring an extra sweatshirt layer or waterproof jacket. Don’t forget neutral rock-climbing shoes with sticky outsoles.
