FAQs
Can I use these shoes with clipless pedals?
No, these are flat-sole shoes and do not feature the mounting interface required for clipless cleats.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed to be breathable for comfort, so they are not fully waterproof, though they handle splashes and damp conditions well.
How should I clean the MC2 rubber soles?
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grit from the lugs to maintain optimal grip.
Are these suitable for enduro racing?
Yes, they are built to handle the rigors of enduro riding, providing the necessary protection and grip for aggressive descending.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since sizing can vary, it is recommended to check your fit against your preferred mountain biking socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on pedals
Ensure the pedal pins are sharp and protruding enough to engage with the rounded lugs of the sole.
Material appears damaged after hard impact
Check the TPU reinforced areas. If the damage is cosmetic, the shoe remains safe. If the structural integrity of the sole is compromised, discontinue use.
Excessive moisture retention
Remove the insole after wet rides and stuff the shoes with newspaper to draw out moisture efficiently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed exclusively for flat mountain bike pedals. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After muddy rides, rinse the shoes with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can damage the bonding agents and materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Remove the footbed to speed up the process. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or inside a dryer, as this can deform the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber compound and upper materials from drying out or cracking.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded rocks or debris that might interfere with the pedal-pin interface.
