FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with flat pedals?
No, the Fox Union BOA shoes are designed specifically for clipless pedal systems using a 2-bolt cleat pattern.
Can I replace the BOA laces?
Yes, the BOA system is designed to be repairable. You can contact BOA or Fox for replacement kits if a cable snaps.
How do I know which size to choose?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to measure your foot and compare against the provided size guide.
Are the shoes waterproof?
They feature a rugged, weather-resistant construction but are not fully waterproof. They are designed to be breathable for long rides.
Do they come with cleats included?
No, the shoes do not come with cleats; you must purchase cleats separately that are compatible with your pedals.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels loose or sticky
Clear any debris or dried mud from the dial mechanism using a soft brush or compressed air.
Cleats slipping or rattling
Check that the cleat mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque and ensure the interface with the pedal is clear of mud.
Discomfort during long rides
Adjust the arch support inserts to see if a different height better aligns with your foot arch, and ensure the BOA tension is evenly distributed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, attach your preferred 2-bolt cleats to the mounting plates following the manufacturer's torque specifications. These shoes are compatible with most major mountain bike pedal systems. Ensure the cleat position is aligned with the balls of your feet for optimal comfort. For care, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove mud and grit. If they become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using direct heat sources, as this can degrade the TPU upper and rubber materials.
