These shoes excel in providing precise fit adjustments and efficient power transfer, making them ideal for serious off-road riders; however, they require a break-in period to achieve the optimal anatomical fit for individual foot shapes.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD-style cleats?
Yes, the DOMINATOR X is designed for use with standard 2-bolt mountain bike cleat systems.
Can I replace the dials if they break?
Yes, the aluminium dial system is designed to be serviceable, allowing you to replace parts should they become damaged.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The shoe should feel snug but not restrictive. The adjustable instep should distribute pressure evenly across the top of your foot without causing hot spots.
Can these be used for road cycling?
While technically usable, they are designed specifically for off-road terrain. Road-specific shoes are generally lighter and offer different ventilation suited for pavement riding.
What does the stiffness index of 8 mean?
A stiffness index of 8 represents a balance between professional-level power transfer and the flexibility needed for comfort during long rides or trail walking.
Troubleshooting
Dial closure feels sticky or difficult to turn
Clean any accumulated mud or dirt from around the dial mechanism using a soft brush and water, then let it air dry.
Foot numbness during longer rides
Re-adjust the anatomical instep strap to ensure it is not too tight; you may also need to check your cleat position to ensure it is centered on the ball of your foot.
Heel slippage
Tighten the upper dial slightly more and ensure your socks are not too thin; the anatomical design should hug the heel firmly once adjusted correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these steps for maintenance and setup:
- Cleat Installation: The shoes feature independent cleat positioning holes. Align your cleats according to your professional bike fit specifications to avoid knee or ankle strain.
- Dial Maintenance: Regularly wipe the aluminium dials with a dry cloth to prevent grit buildup, ensuring smooth rotation.
- Heel Pad Replacement: Monitor the wear on the heel pads. Once they reach the wear indicator, purchase replacements to protect the outsole integrity.
- Cleaning: After muddy rides, clean the shoes with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid high-heat drying, as it can damage the materials; instead, stuff them with newspaper and air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
