FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?
No, the Endura MT500 Burner Flat Shoe is specifically designed for flat pedal systems and does not have cleat mounts.
How do I clean the StickyFoot Grip sole?
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure all mud and debris are removed to maintain optimal grip. Allow to air dry.
Can I wear these shoes for walking around town?
Yes, the design blends technical performance with trainer styling, and the tread pattern at the toe and heel provides confident walking traction, making them suitable for casual wear.
What makes the grip on these shoes special?
The shoes feature Endura's proprietary multi-compound StickyFoot Grip rubber, which is specifically formulated to provide superior adhesion to pedal pins for maximum control.
How durable are the reinforced toe and heel boxes?
The reinforced toe and heel boxes, along with the StickyFoot Dura tread, are designed to withstand trail abuse and provide protection against impacts and abrasion.
What is the purpose of the tongue gaiter?
The tongue gaiter helps to prevent trail debris, such as dirt, stones, and twigs, from entering the shoe while riding.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not fully waterproof but are made with materials designed for quick drying and breathability. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not intended for submersion.
Troubleshooting
Reduced pedal grip
Ensure pedal pins are clean and sharp. Clean the StickyFoot Grip rubber sole of the shoe with a damp cloth to remove any mud or debris that might be interfering with grip.
Discomfort after a ride
Verify the lacing is not too tight or uneven. Ensure the correct shoe size has been selected. The EVA midsole provides cushioning, but proper fit is crucial for comfort.
Debris entering the shoe
Ensure the tongue gaiter is properly aligned and the Velcro strap is securely fastened. Check laces are tied to prevent them from loosening and potentially creating gaps.
Shoes feel wet after a ride in wet conditions
While the upper has quick-dry properties, water ingress can occur in very wet conditions. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat, to ensure they are ready for the next ride.
