FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not waterproof, though they do provide basic protection against splashes.
Can I use these with clipless pedals?
No, the Freerider series is specifically designed for flat pedals.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but we recommend wearing your preferred cycling socks when trying them on for size.
How do I clean the Stealth rubber?
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt from the rubber sole to restore its tackiness.
Are these suitable for hiking?

Troubleshooting
Shoes are holding moisture after a ride
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dedicated moisture-absorbing insert to speed up the drying process.
Lack of grip on pedals
Ensure the outsole and pedals are free of mud or grit, and check that your pedal pins are not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed exclusively for flat pedals; they are not compatible with clipless pedal systems. To ensure the longest lifespan for your Freeriders:
- Cleaning: After muddy rides, wipe down the leather uppers with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris to maintain the integrity of the Dotty tread.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or sealed plastic bags when wet, as this can degrade the leather and promote odor buildup.
