Full details
The Bontrager Velocis Cycling Shoes are designed for committed road cyclists who prioritize efficient power transfer and a tailored ergonomic fit. Featuring a carbon/fibreglass composite sole and the precision-driven Boa IP1 closure system, these shoes provide professional-level stiffness for demanding rides; however, the race-oriented fit may feel too restrictive for riders who prefer a more relaxed or wider toe box.

FAQs
What kind of cleats are compatible with these shoes?
These shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road cycling cleat systems, such as Shimano SPD-SL or Look Keo.
Are these shoes suitable for mountain biking?
No, these are road-specific shoes. They do not have the recessed tread required for walking on dirt or the mounting holes for 2-bolt MTB cleats.
How should I clean the synthetic uppers?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents that could damage the finish.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, you can remove the factory insoles and replace them with aftermarket orthotics if you require extra arch support.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Bontrager inForm Pro fit is designed to be performance-oriented; most users find them true to size, but those with wider feet may prefer trying them on to ensure the width is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Boa dial is not tightening
Check for debris or grit stuck in the dial mechanism and clear it using a soft brush or compressed air.
Foot numbness during long rides
Loosen the Boa dial slightly to relieve pressure, or check that your cleat position is centered correctly under the ball of your foot.
Heel slippage while pedaling
Ensure the heel cup is seated correctly and increase tension on the Boa dial to securely lock the midfoot in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, align your road-specific 3-bolt cleats with the pre-drilled holes on the sole. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely to the manufacturer's torque specifications. For care, wipe down the synthetic uppers with a damp cloth after each ride to remove road grime and salt. Never machine wash or soak the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and the composite sole. If the shoes become wet inside, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air-dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers to prevent material warping.
