FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
The SHIMANO GE700 cycling shoes are versatile and can be used for road cycling, particularly for those who prefer a more robust shoe with better walkability. However, they are primarily designed with off-road and multi-terrain use in mind.
What type of cleats do these shoes use?
These shoes are designed for use with 2-hole SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) cleats, which are commonly used for mountain biking and commuting.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to the SHIMANO sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. It's often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I use these shoes for walking long distances?
The GE700 shoes offer decent walkability due to their outsole design. However, they are still cycling shoes and may not provide the same comfort as dedicated walking shoes for very long distances.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer or SHIMANO's official warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.
How should I clean the inside of the shoes?
For the interior, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried before storing or wearing them again.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose after installation.
Ensure cleat screws are tightened securely. If the threads in the shoe sole are stripped, professional repair may be needed.
Feet feel numb or uncomfortable during rides.
Adjust cleat position for better alignment. Ensure shoe laces are not overtightened. Consider wearing thinner socks or a half-size larger shoe if consistently experiencing tightness.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
While designed for good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean. For improved grip in wet conditions, consider specific trail-oriented cycling shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are designed to be compatible with SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) cleat systems. Ensure you have the correct SPD cleats and pedals.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
