Product Information
Full details
For adult unisex cyclists engaged in indoor training, these adidas cycling shoes offer enhanced breathability and efficient power transfer to help you achieve your personal best. A potential caveat is that the hook-and-loop closure may require adjustment for a perfectly snug fit on all foot shapes. The shoes feature a breathable, lightweight upper with enhanced ventilation, a stiff full-length midsole for optimal power transfer, and a hook-and-loop closure for easy on and off. They are made in part with recycled materials, representing a step towards reducing plastic waste.

FAQs
What type of pedals are these shoes compatible with?
These shoes are designed for indoor cycling and are compatible with most pedal systems that accept standard cycling cleats, such as SPD or compatible systems. You will need to purchase and install the appropriate cleats separately.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor cycling?
While the shoes offer excellent ventilation and power transfer, they are specifically designed for indoor training. They may not provide the protection or durability required for varied outdoor riding conditions.
How do I clean the shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for people with wide feet?
The shoes feature a standard fit. The hook-and-loop closure allows for some adjustment, but individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
What does 'made in part with recycled materials' mean?
It means that the upper part of the shoe is constructed using a significant percentage of recycled materials, contributing to a reduction in plastic waste. The upper contains at least 50% recycled content.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing guide and measure your foot length. Compare your measurements to the UK size chart provided to select the best fit.
Will these shoes help me perform better?
Yes, the stiff full-length midsole is designed to maximize power transfer for efficient pedaling, and the breathable upper helps maintain comfort during high-intensity efforts, both of which can contribute to improved performance during indoor cycling.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tensioned across the foot.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during rides.
Ensure the shoe's breathable upper is not obstructed. Check that ventilation ports are clear of debris. Consider wearing moisture-wicking cycling socks.
Difficulty clipping into pedals.
Verify that the correct cleats are installed and aligned properly on the shoe. Ensure the pedal mechanism is clean and free of debris.
Soles feel less stiff over time.
This can be a sign of material wear. While designed for durability, prolonged heavy use can eventually affect sole stiffness. Ensure proper care and storage to maximize lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These cycling shoes are designed to be compatible with most indoor cycling pedals that utilize a standard cleat system (typically SPD or compatible). Ensure you have the correct cleats for your pedals and install them onto the designated mounting points on the sole of the shoes according to the cleat manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: The shoes are primarily intended for indoor cycling use. They are compatible with a wide range of indoor trainers and spin bikes that accept standard cycling cleats. Ensure your chosen pedal system matches the shoe's cleat compatibility.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Lining: If the insoles are removable, clean them separately. Allow them to dry thoroughly before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
