One recent morning, I was getting my shoes on to try to sweat it out a little bit before work and as I tightened up my left shoe, I heard something snap and a little bit of plastic went flying. I had snapped off the ratcheting buckle on my shoe. In the photo at the top of this post, you'll see the now-naked Peloton shoe with the broken little ratchet piece. Below, you'll see the piece. This is what came off of the shoe. Turns out, it is all plastic. Below you'll see the piece in profile. The circular part in the middle is what snapped off - the plastic part wraps around a metal cylinder. The good news is that how they make these spin bike shoes these days, they're totally replaceable. In that top photo, you'll notice a screw and if you loosen it up, the buckle just comes off.
