Abstract: 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.
