A multi-function cycling shoe includes a sole in which a fixing device is provided for a pedal attachment device. The sole includes a pair of projections of predetermined thickness which are fitted removably to the sole laterally and which stand out above the fixing device to form, when fitted to the sole, a recess to protect the fixing device and the pedal attachment device from impact with the ground, and to enable an attachment device for road racing to be mounted when these projections are removed from the sole.
