FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
No, the Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes are specifically designed for mountain biking and are compatible only with SPD (2-bolt) cleat systems, which are typically used for off-road riding. Road cycling shoes use a different cleat system (3-bolt).
Do these shoes come with SPD cleats?
No, SPD cleats are typically sold separately with your SPD pedals. You will need to purchase and install them onto the shoes before use.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes?
While it's possible to walk short distances, these shoes are designed primarily for cycling. The stiff reinforced sole and protruding SPD cleats (once installed) make extended walking awkward and can wear down the cleats quickly.
How should I clean my Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes?
For best results, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth immediately after use. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, and allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
The product description states 'Waterproof / breathable,' indicating the materials offer resistance to water while also allowing moisture vapor to escape. However, the presence of mesh panels means they are highly breathable, which might limit their full waterproofing capabilities in very heavy rain or deep puddles, prioritizing comfort and ventilation.
What is the best way to get the right size?
The shoes follow standard UK adult footwear sizing. For the most accurate fit, it's recommended to try them on, ideally with the type of cycling socks you typically wear. Ensure there is snugness without pressure points and enough room for your toes to move slightly.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in or out of SPD pedals
Check if the SPD cleats are correctly installed and tightened. Lubricate your pedals' cleat retention mechanism lightly. Also, practice clipping in and out in a safe environment until you feel confident.
Foot discomfort or hot spots during rides
Ensure the triple straps are not overtightened; adjust for a firm yet comfortable fit. Consider wearing appropriate cycling socks designed for moisture-wicking and cushioning. Check cleat positioning, as incorrect placement can cause pressure points.
Shoes feel loose despite tightening straps
Verify that you have the correct shoe size. If the shoes are too large, even fully tightened straps may not provide a secure fit. Consider trying an alternative insole for a more custom fit if the size is correct.
Excessive sweat buildup inside shoes
Ensure the mesh panels are clean and unobstructed to allow for maximum breathability. Pair with high-performance moisture-wicking cycling socks. Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Cleat Installation: Before first use, you will need to attach your SPD cleats (sold separately) to the sole of the shoes. The shoes feature pre-drilled holes for two-bolt SPD cleat systems. Position the cleats to match your preferred pedaling style, ensuring they are centered under the ball of your foot for optimal power transfer and comfort. You may need an Allen key for this process.
- Strap Adjustment: Adjust the three touch and close fastening straps to achieve a snug and comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure they are tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
Compatibility
- Pedal Systems: These shoes are designed exclusively for use with SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) clipless pedal systems. They are not compatible with road cycling pedal systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo) or flat pedals.
- Sizing: Refer to standard UK sizing for adult footwear. Ensure a snug fit to prevent rubbing and maximize power transfer.
Care
- Cleaning: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your shoes, wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each ride, especially if they are muddy or dusty. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles if present to aid drying.
- Storage: Store your cycling shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
