FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
Yes, the stiff carbon composite outsole and secure fit are designed to optimize power transfer, making them well-suited for road racing.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I replace the dials if they break?
Yes, the NUUN 001C aluminum dials are designed to be replaceable parts to extend the shoe's lifespan.
What is the stiffness index of the outsole?
The R3CC carbon composite outsole has a stiffness index of 6, providing a balance of power transfer and comfort.
How do I adjust the fit for my arch?
The Firmor X internal wrap system, adjusted via the upper dial, helps to stabilize the arch and enhance fit tension for a personalized feel.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed for breathability and do not feature waterproof materials. They are best suited for dry to mildly wet conditions.
What type of socks are recommended?
Moisture-wicking cycling-specific socks are recommended to complement the shoe's breathable design and maintain comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Loosen the NUUN dials slightly. Ensure the Firmor X internal wrap is not over-tightened. Adjust cleat position if it seems to affect overall foot alignment.
Dials are difficult to turn or adjust.
Check for debris or mud around the dials and cable. Gently clean the mechanism. If the issue persists, consider replacing the dial mechanism.
Feet feel hot even with the breathable upper.
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Verify that the shoe fit is not too tight, constricting circulation. Check if the internal lining is clean and unobstructed.
Outsole feels too stiff for comfort on longer rides.
Ensure cleats are positioned correctly to distribute pressure. Consider using insoles designed for added cushioning. Note that stiffness is a performance feature and may require an adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cleat Installation: Ensure your pedal cleats are installed correctly on the outsole. The shoes feature independent cleat adjustment for precise alignment. Consult your pedal manufacturer's instructions for optimal placement.
- Fit Adjustment: Use the dual NUUN 001C dials to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Tighten the lower dial for forefoot security and the upper dial for ankle and instep support. The Firmor X system can be adjusted via the upper dial for arch tension.
Compatibility:
- Cleats: Compatible with most 3-bolt road cleat systems. Ensure your cleats are properly aligned before tightening.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The knit upper can be gently cleaned with mild soap and water if necessary, and allowed to air dry completely.
- Drying: Do not dry near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials. Allow shoes to air dry at room temperature.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the heel pads and dials. Replace them if worn to maintain performance and safety.
