Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are compatible with SPD (2-bolt) pedal systems. Ensure your pedals are installed correctly and that the cleat is properly mounted to the shoe. The cleat mounting area is optimized for midfoot placement, which may require adjusting your pedal height or cleat position on the pedal for optimal fit and performance. The lace and instep strap system should be tightened for a secure, snug fit without restricting circulation.
Compatibility:
- Pedals: Compatible with all major SPD (2-bolt) mountain bike pedal systems.
- Cleats: Requires compatible 2-bolt cleats (not included).
- Riding Style: Best suited for Downhill, Enduro, and aggressive Trail riding.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes after each ride using a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher grime on the upper and sole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
