These shoes are designed for 2-bolt clipless pedal systems, which are standard for most mountain biking clipless pedals.

How do I clean the shoes?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the shoes come with exchangeable arch support options, and standard cycling insoles compatible with the shoe's volume can also be used.

What is the weight of the shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 445g (16oz) per pair.

How durable is the Ultratac outsole?

The Ultratac outsole is engineered for a balance of grip and toughness, providing good durability for regular trail use.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty clipping in/out of pedals

Ensure cleats are clean and free of mud. Check pedal tension if adjustable. Verify cleat installation angle is correct for your system.

Foot discomfort or hot spots

Adjust the lace and Velcro strap for a more even pressure distribution. Try the alternative arch support options. Ensure correct shoe size and consider thicker or thinner socks.

Slipping heel inside the shoe

Tighten the lace and Velcro system, focusing on securing the heel. Ensure the internal heel counter is functioning correctly. If persistent, consider insoles designed for heel slippage.

Shoes are wet after a ride

Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly away from heat. Use newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture. Ensure weather-resistant construction is intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Pedal Attachment: Install your chosen clipless pedals onto your crank arms according to the pedal manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Pedals: Designed for 2-bolt clipless pedal systems (e.g., SPD compatible). Ensure your pedals are the correct type.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After riding, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
