Yes, they are compatible with standard 2-bolt SPD-style mountain bike pedal systems.
While technically possible, these are optimized for trail riding; they are heavier and less aerodynamic than dedicated road shoes.
Once you have tightened your laces to your preferred tension, simply bundle the ends and tuck them securely under the elastic cover on the tongue.
The shoes arrive with pre-installed Match shims and cleats, so you can often mount them directly to your pedals, though you should verify the alignment to match your personal riding style.
Use a soft-bristled brush or compressed air to gently remove dirt from the perforations without damaging the fabric.
Check if the cleat shims are correctly installed; remove or add shims to adjust the height of the cleat relative to the pedal body.
Ensure the mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications and check for debris within the cleat tracks.
Adjust the lace tension and ensure your socks are moisture-wicking to prevent bunching and blisters.
To set up your shoes, ensure the pre-installed Match shims are positioned correctly for your specific pedal setup. If you need to adjust the cleat position, use the 35mm track to find your ideal balance between power and stability. When cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid high-pressure water, which can damage the delicate mesh components. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the EVA midsole and rubber outsole. Always check the laces for wear and ensure they are fully tucked into the lace pocket before riding.
