FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking off the bike?
Yes, the Ultratac rubber outsole provides good grip for walking on various surfaces, and the stiffening plate offers stability, though they are primarily designed for cycling performance.
How do I adjust the fit on the fly?
Use the two BOA Li2 dials. Turn them clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. The power strap can also be adjusted for a more secure feel.
What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?
These are clipless mountain bike shoes and are compatible with most 2-bolt cleat systems, such as SPD.
How do I clean the shoes?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
Can I replace the insoles for different arch support?
Yes, the shoes come with high and low arch support options that can be swapped out to personalize the fit.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for the specific duration and terms. Typically, cycling shoes have a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or difficult to turn
Check for debris around the dial and wire. Gently clean the area. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear
This may be a break-in period. Adjust the BOA dials and power strap to find a more comfortable tension. Ensure you are using the correct arch support insert for your foot.
Grip is reduced on wet or muddy surfaces
Clean the Ultratac rubber outsole and the pedals. While the rubber compound is designed for grip, extreme conditions can impact performance. Ensure cleats are free of mud.
Cleats are not engaging with pedals properly
Verify that your cleats are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure the pedals are compatible and free of obstruction. Check the cleat tension setting on your pedals if applicable.
