FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Nucleus GTX Low Shoes feature a Gore-Tex (GTX) waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How does the D3O ankle protection work?
D3O is a smart material that is soft and flexible in its relaxed state but locks together on impact, absorbing and dissipating energy. It provides protection without adding bulk or stiffness during normal movement.
Can I wear these shoes for walking around after parking my motorcycle?
Yes, the Fortex sole is designed for comfort and grip, making them suitable for walking short distances. However, they are primarily a motorcycle shoe and may not offer the same comfort as dedicated walking shoes for extended periods.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the asymmetrical closure system to adjust the tightness. The laces should be snug enough to keep the shoe secure on your foot during riding but not so tight that they cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
What maintenance is required for the waterproof membrane?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap will help maintain the shoe's integrity. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes are dried naturally if they get wet.
Are these shoes suitable for winter riding?
The waterproof and windproof nature of the GTX membrane provides protection against the elements. For very cold conditions, consider wearing warm motorcycle socks.
What is the difference between these low shoes and the Nucleus GTX boots?
The primary difference is the height. The boots offer higher ankle coverage and support, while the low shoes are more streamlined and offer the flexibility of a shoe with specific motorcycle protection features.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and the lace holder. Check for any debris obstructing the lacing mechanism. Pull the laces firmly and evenly to tighten.
Feet feel wet after riding in the rain.
Verify that the GTX waterproof membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage to the shoe's exterior. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress from the top.
Ankle feels unprotected or stiff.
Confirm the D3O ankle protection is correctly positioned. The D3O material will soften and conform to your ankle with body heat during use. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately for adequate support.
Sole feels slippery.
Clean the Fortex sole to remove any oil, dirt, or debris that might be reducing grip. The sole is designed for motorcycle use; check for excessive wear if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit using the asymmetrical closure system and lace holder.
Compatibility: Designed for adult riders, suitable for various motorcycle types. The UK size 7.5 is specifically for this model.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing: The GTX membrane is designed for long-lasting waterproofing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
