Product Information
Full details
The FOX CYCLING Union Flat Shoes are engineered for adult mountain bikers who prioritize pedal grip, comfort, and durability on technical trails. These shoes offer a locked-in feel via the specialized Ultratac outsole, making them ideal for both aggressive descending and long days on the bike, though they are specifically designed for flat pedal use rather than clipless systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Union Flat Shoes are designed exclusively for flat mountain bike pedals and do not feature mounting points for cleats.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand wash with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the welded materials.
Are these suitable for all-weather riding?
While the TPU/ripstop upper is durable and water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof; expect some water ingress in very wet or deep mud conditions.
How do I know which arch support to use?
Try each pair of inserts while standing on your bike. Choose the one that feels most supported under the arch without creating pressure points.
Will these shoes work for casual commuting?
Yes, their styling and walking comfort make them functional for commuting, though their aggressive grip is specifically optimized for mountain bike pedal pins.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping off pedals in wet conditions
Clean the pedal pins and the shoe sole of mud or debris; the Ultratac rubber requires clean contact points for maximum grip.
Discomfort during long rides
Swap the arch support insert for a different size to adjust the mid-foot pressure distribution.
Laces coming loose on the trail
Ensure the laces are fully tucked into the dedicated lace-keeper system to prevent them from catching on external objects.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional grip on flat pedals due to hex-lug design
- Reinforced toe cap offers excellent impact protection
- Balanced stiffness for both riding and walking
- Customizable fit with interchangeable arch supports
Cons
- Not compatible with clipless pedals
- Less breathable than pure cross-country racing shoes
- Stiff construction may require a short break-in period
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, experiment with the provided interchangeable arch support inserts to match your foot's natural contour. Ensure the laces are securely tucked into the front lace-keeper to avoid interference with the crankset.
For care and maintenance, wipe the welded TPU/ripstop upper with a damp cloth after muddy rides. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as this can force water into the lining and damage the bonding. Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials or harden the outsole rubber.
