FAQs
Can I use these for winter riding?
These are designed to be lightweight and wind-resistant. While they provide good protection in mild to cool conditions, they may not provide enough insulation for extreme winter temperatures.
Are these compatible with both road and MTB shoes?
Yes, they are designed to be versatile enough to work with the varied tread patterns and cleat positions found on both road and mountain bike cycling shoes.
How do I clean them if they get muddy?
Rinse off the mud with a hose or under a tap, then hand wash with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely.
Will they tear easily on trails?
While the material is durable, it is intended to be lightweight. Avoid walking on sharp rocks or jagged surfaces to preserve the life of the fabric.
Do they provide any warmth?
The wind-resistant exterior significantly helps in retaining body heat by blocking the wind-chill effect on the top and sides of your cycling shoes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the covers on over large shoes
Ensure the shoe covers are pulled fully over the heel section first, then stretch the toe section over the front of the shoe to avoid over-stretching the material.
Covers slipping or bunching while pedaling
Check that the shoe covers are pulled snug against the heel and that no excess material is trapped under the cleat area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, slide the covers over your cycling shoes before putting your shoes on, or pull them over the heels first if your shoes are already clipped in. Ensure the walking pads are correctly positioned over the cleats to avoid interference with pedal engagement. To maintain the waterproof coating, hand wash the covers in lukewarm water using mild detergent and hang them to dry in a shaded area. Avoid using aggressive solvents or bleach, as these can break down the technical fabric.
