FAQs
What type of cycling is this shoe best suited for?
These shoes are primarily designed for mountain biking (cross-country, trail riding) and gravel cycling, where a stiff sole and secure fit are beneficial for power transfer and control.
How do I adjust the fit using the dial system?
Turn the dial clockwise to tighten the shoe and counter-clockwise to loosen it. Adjust until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit without excessive pressure.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not designed to be waterproof but offer good water resistance for typical riding conditions. They should be dried thoroughly after exposure to significant moisture.
Can I replace the cleats on the sole?
Yes, the shoe is designed to accept standard 2-bolt MTB cleats. You will need to purchase cleats separately and install them according to their manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the Bioveg Microfiber material?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes in water.
What is the stiffness rating of the sole?
The MTB Carbon-ground sole has a stiffness rating between 5 and 12, indicating a high level of stiffness optimized for performance pedaling.
Are replacement parts available for this shoe?
Yes, key parts of the shoe, including the sole and dial system, are designed to be replaceable to extend the product's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Dial system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the Dyneema® cable is not tangled or obstructed. Check for any debris in the dial mechanism. If wear is evident, consider replacing the dial system.
Heel slipping during ride
Adjust the dial system for a tighter fit around the midfoot and forefoot. Ensure the heel retention system is engaged properly. If the issue persists, the shoe size may not be optimal.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Loosen the dial system slightly. Ensure you are using appropriate cycling socks. If pressure points persist in the same area, the shoe's shape may not suit your foot anatomy.
Sole or cleat area damaged
Inspect for wear and tear. If the cleat mount area is damaged, consider replacing the sole or consulting a professional bike mechanic. If the sole itself is worn, check if replacement parts are available.
