FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, these are designed specifically for 2-bolt mountain bike cleat systems.
Can I replace the BOA dials if they break?
Yes, the BOA Li2 system features replaceable components; check the BOA website for specific kits.
How do I determine the right arch support?
The shoes come with options for high and low arch support; test both to see which aligns best with your foot shape.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature ripstop material for durability, but they are designed for breathability rather than complete waterproofing.
Can these be used for gravel riding?
While optimized for MTB, their efficiency and comfort make them a popular choice for aggressive gravel riding.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or gritty
Use compressed air or a soft brush to clear out trail debris from the dial housing.
Foot feels too loose during riding
Tighten both the forefoot and ankle BOA dials independently to achieve a balanced, secure tension.
Cleat movement or clicking
Check that the mounting bolts are tightened to the pedal manufacturer's torque specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, align your preferred 2-bolt cleats with the designated mounting slots on the sole; adjust the position based on your biomechanical needs and cleat manufacturer recommendations. These shoes are compatible with most standard mountain bike pedal systems. For care, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after muddy rides to maintain the integrity of the ripstop materials. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area—never place them near direct heat sources, as this can degrade the specialized materials and the BOA tension system.
