FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking off the bike?

What type of pedals are these shoes compatible with?
These shoes are compatible with all standard 2-bolt SPD-style pedal systems, commonly used for mountain biking and gravel riding.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fizik, measuring your foot length from heel to toe. The Terra Atlas offers a more generous fit, so consider this when comparing to other shoe brands.
Can I replace the BOA cable?
Yes, BOA cables are replaceable. You can purchase a BOA replacement kit and follow the instructions provided with the kit or on the BOA website.
How do I clean the shoes if they get muddy?
Use a soft brush to remove excess mud. Then, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry completely.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Fizik typically offers a limited warranty on their products. Please refer to the official Fizik website or product documentation for the most current warranty information.
Is the TPU overlay on the toecap protective enough for sharp rocks?
The TPU overlay provides a good level of protection against trail debris and moderate impacts. For extremely sharp or large obstacles, caution is always advised.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the laces are properly routed through the guides. Try cleaning around the dial and lace guides with a dry brush to remove any debris. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the BOA dial for a less constrictive fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate cycling socks. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for better arch support or a different cleat position.
Shoes feel loose during pedaling
Tighten the BOA dial further. Check that the laces are evenly tensioned before engaging the dial. Ensure the cleat position is optimized for your pedaling style.
Water ingress or poor drying
While designed for varied conditions, excessive water can saturate materials. Ensure proper drainage and allow ample drying time after wet rides. Avoid storing in damp conditions.

Care: Clean the shoes after use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, remove the insoles and laces, and wash the shoes with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
