FAQs
Are the Fizik Terra Atlas shoes suitable for racing?
While versatile, they are designed more for comfort and durability across varied terrains than for pure racing performance. For highly competitive road or MTB racing, a more specialized shoe might be preferred.
What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?
The Terra Atlas shoes are designed for clipless pedals using a standard 2-bolt cleat system, common for mountain biking and gravel cycling.
How do I adjust the fit during a ride?
The single BOA closure allows for quick adjustments by turning the dial. Clockwise tightens the fit, and counter-clockwise loosens it. This can be done easily while riding.
Can I replace the BOA system if it breaks?
Yes, BOA systems are typically replaceable. You can usually find replacement parts and instructions on the BOA website or through Fizik's customer support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed for all-terrain use and offer some resistance to the elements, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for conditions where light moisture or splashes are expected, rather than prolonged heavy rain.
What is the warranty period for Fizik cycling shoes?
Fizik typically offers a warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can be found on the official Fizik website or by contacting their customer service.
How do I clean the shoe's exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Check the dial and cable for any dirt or debris. Gently clean around the mechanism with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Ensure the cable is routed correctly and not snagged.
Slightly loose fit even when tightened
Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and the laces underneath the BOA cable are snug. If the issue persists, consider if a different insole might provide a better fit, or if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot shape.
Cleats are not engaging with pedals
Verify that the cleats are installed correctly on the shoes and are the appropriate type for your pedals. Ensure the pedal mechanism is clean and free of obstructions.
Discomfort after a few hours of riding
Adjust the BOA dial to slightly less tension. Ensure socks are not bunched up. If discomfort is localized, consider using a different insole for better arch support or cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Fizik Terra Atlas shoes are designed for standard clipless pedal systems. Ensure your pedals are compatible with the cleat type (typically SPD or similar 2-bolt systems). Install cleats onto the sole of the shoes according to your pedal manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are positioned correctly for optimal pedaling efficiency and comfort.
Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with most mountain bike and gravel cycling pedals that utilize a 2-bolt cleat system. The single BOA dial allows for easy tightening and loosening of the shoe's fit.
Care: To clean the shoes, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly check the BOA system for debris and ensure it functions smoothly.
