FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
No, these Muddyfox MTB100 shoes are specifically designed for mountain biking and are compatible with 2-bolt SPD pedal systems. Road cycling shoes typically use a 3-bolt cleat system.
Are cleats included with the shoes?
Cleats are not typically included with cycling shoes. They are usually supplied with your SPD pedals or purchased separately as an aftermarket accessory.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth immediately after your ride. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes?
While the shoes feature a shaped heel and cushioned ankle, they are primarily designed for pedaling efficiency with SPD pedals. They are not intended for extensive walking, as the stiff sole and exposed cleats can make walking uncomfortable and potentially slippery on hard surfaces.
What does 'waterproof / breathable' mean for these shoes?
This indicates that the shoes offer some resistance to water splashes and light rain, helping to keep your feet drier than non-waterproof shoes. At the same time, the breathable materials (like mesh panels) allow moisture vapor from sweat to escape, contributing to comfort. They are not designed to be fully submersible or impervious to heavy downpours over extended periods.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It's recommended to try them on, ideally with the type of socks you'd wear while cycling, to ensure a snug but comfortable fit with no pressure points or excessive movement.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in or out of pedals.
Ensure your cleats are clean and free of mud. Lubricate your pedal mechanisms if they feel stiff. Check the tension adjustment on your SPD pedals; a lower tension setting will make clipping out easier, while a higher tension offers a more secure hold.
Foot numbness or hot spots during rides.
Adjust your cleat position slightly. Moving cleats forward or backward, or rotating them, can significantly impact comfort. Also, ensure your straps are not overtightened; they should be snug but not restrictive. Consider trying different cycling socks or aftermarket insoles.
Loose feeling or excessive foot movement inside the shoe.
Ensure all three touch-and-close straps are fastened securely. If the issue persists, your shoe size might be too large. Trying a smaller size or using thicker cycling socks could help improve the fit.

Setup
- Cleat Installation: These shoes are compatible with 2-bolt SPD cleats (cleats are typically sold separately with your pedals or as aftermarket accessories). Locate the two threaded inserts on the sole of the shoe.
- Attach Cleats: Place your SPD cleats onto the sole, aligning them with the screw holes. Insert the cleat bolts and washers (usually provided with the cleats).
- Adjust Cleat Position: Start with the cleats centered on the sole. You can adjust them forward, backward, or rotate them slightly to find the most comfortable and efficient pedaling position. Tighten the bolts firmly but do not overtighten.
- Practice Clipping In/Out: Before your first ride, practice clipping into and out of your pedals in a safe, controlled environment (e.g., next to a wall or on grass) to build muscle memory.
Compatibility
- Pedal Systems: These shoes are exclusively designed for 2-bolt SPD clipless mountain bike pedal systems. They are not compatible with 3-bolt road pedal systems or flat pedals.
- Sizing: Available in UK adult sizes, including UK 6. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe clean the upper and sole with a damp cloth after each ride, especially after muddy conditions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove any insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.
