FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
The shoes feature 'waterproof / breathable' materials, which means they offer resistance to splashes and rain while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape. They are not designed for full submersion in water.
What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?
These Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes are compatible with SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) pedal systems, which use a two-bolt cleat attachment.
How should I clean my Muddyfox MTB100 shoes?
You should wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and overall structure of the shoes.
Are SPD cleats included with the shoes?
No, SPD cleats are typically sold separately with your SPD pedals. You will need to install the cleats onto the shoes yourself.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes off the bike?
While the shoes have a reinforced sole, they are primarily designed for cycling. The sole is stiff for pedaling efficiency, and the cleats (when installed) can make walking less comfortable and potentially slippery on certain surfaces. They are generally suitable for short walks off the bike.
What materials are used in these cycling shoes?
The upper part of the shoe is made from textile and synthetic materials, the inner lining is textile, and the sole is synthetic.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping into SPD pedals
Ensure your SPD cleats are correctly installed and tightened on the shoe sole. Check for any debris in the pedal mechanism or on the cleat. Practice clipping in and out in a safe, stationary environment.
Feet feel hot and sweaty during rides
Utilize the shoes' breathability by ensuring the straps are not excessively tight, which can restrict airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking cycling socks. For extremely hot conditions, temporary removal of the shoes for air exposure might help.
Shoes feel loose or uncomfortable during a ride
Adjust the triple touch and close fastening straps. Ensure each strap is snug, but not overly tight. Re-evaluate your shoe size for proper fit; ensure there's enough room for your toes but no excessive heel lift.
Squeaking sound when pedaling
This can often come from cleat-to-pedal interface. Check that your SPD cleats are clean and securely fastened to the shoe. A small amount of dry lubricant on the pedal springs or cleat contact points might help, but avoid grease.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Cleat Installation: Before your first ride, you will need to install SPD cleats (sold separately with your pedals) onto the sole of the shoes. The shoes feature two bolt holes designed for this purpose. Position the cleats to allow your foot to naturally align over the pedal spindle. A common starting point is to align the cleat under the ball of your foot.
- Strap Adjustment: Once your feet are in the shoes, use the three touch and close fastening straps to secure a snug, yet comfortable fit. Ensure they are tight enough to prevent your foot from shifting, but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
Compatibility
- These shoes are specifically designed for use with SPD pedal systems (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) and compatible two-bolt cleats. They are not compatible with road cycling pedal systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo).
Care
- Cleaning: The manufacturer recommends to `wipe clean with a damp cloth`. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. - Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
