FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners?

While they offer excellent performance, the clipless system requires practice. Beginners may want to start with flat pedals or gain experience with clipless systems on less technical terrain.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Trying them on if possible is ideal.

Can I use these for casual walking?

Yes, the Ultratac rubber and supportive sole make them comfortable for walking, especially with the included arch support options, though they are primarily designed for cycling.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the official Fox Head Clothing website or your purchase receipt for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

How do I clean the BOA system?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt from the dials and laces. Avoid using water or lubricants directly on the BOA mechanism unless specified by the manufacturer.

What type of pedals are recommended?

These shoes are designed for clipless pedals using a 2-bolt cleat pattern, such as those from the SPD system, offering efficient power transfer and secure engagement.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the laces are clean and free of debris. Gently clean the dial mechanism and lace path with a soft brush. If persistent, contact manufacturer support.

Foot discomfort or hot spots

Adjust the BOA dials for a less constricting fit. Experiment with the included high and low arch support options. Ensure cleats are correctly aligned. A break-in period may be necessary.

Poor grip on walking surfaces

Ensure the Ultratac rubber sole is clean and free from mud. If wear is significant, consider replacement. Check cleat insertion for proper engagement with pedals.

Power strap losing adhesion

Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces of the power strap. Ensure it is aligned correctly before fastening. If adhesion is permanently compromised, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and precise fit adjustment via Dual BOA Li2 system.
  • Enhanced pedaling efficiency due to the power strap.
  • Durable construction with protective toe cap for trail hazards.
  • Excellent grip for walking and dismounted sections.
  • Customizable fit with included arch support options.

Cons

  • Clipless design requires compatible pedals and cleats.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Higher price point typical for high-performance MTB shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are clipless shoes, requiring compatible clipless pedals and cleats. Install cleats onto the shoe sole according to pedal manufacturer instructions, ensuring proper alignment for optimal pedaling and walking comfort. The Dual BOA Li2 system and power strap should be adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit before riding.

Compatibility: Compatible with all major clipless pedal systems that use a 2-bolt cleat pattern (e.g., SPD).

Care: Clean the shoes after rides using a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. The BOA dials and cables should be kept clean for smooth operation.
