FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with flat pedals?
While designed primarily for clipless systems, the StickyFoot Grip zones perform well on some pedal types; however, they are optimized for clipless engagement.
How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?
Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents. Regular cleaning with water and occasional treatment with a synthetic-safe water repellent can maintain performance.
Can I replace the EGM footbeds?
Yes, the footbeds are removable and can be replaced if they show signs of wear or if you require custom orthotic insoles.
Does the Sharkskin heel cup cause blistering?
The Sharkskin fabric is designed to grip the heel and prevent movement. It should not cause blistering if the shoes are sized correctly and worn with proper cycling socks.
How do I choose the right size?
The MT500 Burner series generally follows standard sizing. Use the provided UK sizing chart and ensure you account for the thickness of the socks you typically wear for riding.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose while pedaling
Check the cleat bolts periodically for vibration-induced loosening and ensure they are tightened to the correct torque.
Difficulty clipping in/out of pedals
Verify that your cleat position is not interfering with the pedal mechanism and ensure no mud is packed inside the cleat channel.
Shoes holding moisture after drying
Remove the inner footbed and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb residual moisture from the inner lining.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproofing for rainy or muddy conditions
- Excellent off-bike traction for hike-a-bike sections
- Highly adjustable cleat positioning
- Secure heel hold prevents foot lift during pedaling
- Balanced flex profile for both pedaling efficiency and trail control
Cons
- More substantial weight compared to lightweight XC shoes
- Waterproof membrane may reduce ventilation in very hot, dry climates
- Covered lacing system requires a brief adjustment period
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, first install your preferred cleats into the offset cleat box, ensuring they are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Utilize the Speed Lace system by pulling the toggles to your desired tension, then secure the waterproof cover and Velcro strap.
For care, avoid using high-pressure washers, which can damage the waterproof membrane. After muddy rides, rinse the exterior with clean water and a soft brush. Remove the EGM footbeds and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
