Product Information

Full details

The Pinnacle Alder Cycling Shoe is designed for adult male riders seeking a versatile and durable shoe for XC, Trail, and Enduro mountain biking. Its key benefit lies in its comfortable, hard-wearing design with features that ensure a secure fit and protection on rugged terrain. A potential caveat is its sole's compatibility with both SPD and flat pedals, which may require users to choose their preferred pedal system. Key features include a breathable mesh tongue and collar, a non-slip heel, a secure lace closure with a Velcro strap, and toe protection for enhanced durability.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking on trails?

Yes, the outsole provides a reasonable grip for walking on trails when off the bike, though they are primarily designed for cycling.

Do I need special socks to use these shoes?

While not strictly required, cycling-specific socks are recommended for better moisture management and comfort during rides.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a brush to remove loose dirt, then wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

Can I use these shoes with Shimano SPD pedals?

Yes, the Pinnacle Alder Cycling Shoes are designed to be compatible with SPD and other 2-bolt clipless pedal systems.

What is the main difference between this shoe and a road cycling shoe?

Mountain bike shoes like the Alder have a more durable, grippy outsole suitable for walking and varied terrain, whereas road shoes typically have a stiff, smooth sole for maximum power transfer and are not designed for walking.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Try them on with your usual cycling socks. Adjust the laces and Velcro strap for a snug, secure fit without any pressure points. Ensure your heel is locked in place.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Please refer to the retailer or Pinnacle's official warranty information for the specific duration and terms of the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace tension and ensure the Velcro strap is securely fastened. If the fit is still not right, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Difficulty clipping into SPD pedals.

Ensure your SPD cleats are correctly installed and that there are no obstructions in the shoe's cleat area. Check the pedal mechanism for debris.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during rides.

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. On warmer days, try loosening the laces slightly to increase airflow.

Outsole seems slippery on pedals.

If using flat pedals, ensure the pedal pins are clean and properly set. For both pedal types, check that the outsole is free from mud or debris.

Care:
