FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, these are designed for 2-bolt MTB/Gravel cleats. They are not compatible with 3-bolt road pedal systems like SPD-SL or Look Keo.
Can I use these for winter riding?
They are well-ventilated, so they do not offer significant insulation. For cold weather, consider wearing shoe covers or windproof socks.
How do I replace the BOA lace if it snaps?
Fizik uses standard BOA components. You can order replacement kits online and install them easily using the provided tools.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Terra Atlas is designed as a unisex fit, catering to a wide range of foot shapes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. They will allow water to pass through if you ride through deep puddles or heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or sticks
Clean any trapped dirt or grit from the dial housing with a soft brush and water, then rotate the dial back and forth to loosen it.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the BOA lace is fully tensioned; if it persists, you may need a thicker sock or a different footbed insole to better fill the volume.
Cleats coming loose
Check the cleat bolts periodically and ensure they are tightened to the torque specification recommended by your pedal manufacturer, using thread-locking fluid if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are compatible with standard 2-bolt MTB-style cleats, commonly known as SPD cleats. To set them up, align your cleats with the slots on the outsole, ensuring they are positioned to align with the balls of your feet. For maintenance, keep your Terra Atlas shoes clean by wiping off mud and debris with a damp cloth after each ride; avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial degreasers. If the shoes get wet internally, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, to prevent material deformation.
