FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the secure fastening and straightforward design make them suitable for young beginner cyclists who are learning to use clipless pedals.
What type of pedals are these shoes compatible with?
These shoes are designed for clipless pedal systems commonly used in road cycling, typically requiring specific cleats that attach to the shoe.
How do I clean the black and white colourway?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, use mild soap and water. Ensure they air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main advantage of the streamlined design?
The streamlined design helps reduce wind resistance and supports an efficient, smooth pedaling motion, which can lead to better performance and reduced fatigue.
Can these shoes be used for mountain biking?
While they offer some stability, they are specifically designed for road cycling. For mountain biking, shoes with more aggressive tread and protection are generally recommended.
What does 'Gravel Shoe 2.0' signify?
It indicates a model designed for versatility, with features suitable for both road cycling and light gravel paths, offering a balance of performance and durability.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas and measure your child's foot accurately. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, ensuring there's enough room for a cycling sock without being too loose.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort
Loosen the fastening straps and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure socks are appropriate thickness. If discomfort persists, consider the fit might not be suitable for the user's foot shape.
Cleats not engaging with pedals properly
Verify that the cleats are correctly installed and aligned on the shoes. Check pedal tension and ensure there are no obstructions in the cleat or pedal mechanism.
Difficulty removing foot from pedal
Ensure the cleat release tension on your pedals is set correctly. Practice the foot-out motion in a safe, stationary environment.
Material appears worn or damaged
Inspect the shoes for signs of excessive wear. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may suffice. Significant damage may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for intended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These cycling shoes are designed to be used with clipless pedals and cycling cleats. Ensure that the appropriate cleats (typically sold separately) are securely attached to the underside of the shoes according to the cleat manufacturer's instructions. The fastening system, usually hook-and-loop straps, should be adjusted to provide a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the heel is secured without pressure points.
Compatibility:
The adidas Gravel Shoe 2.0 is compatible with most standard road cycling pedal systems that accept two-bolt or three-bolt cleats. Always check the compatibility of your chosen pedals and cleats with the shoe's cleat mounting system.
Care:
To maintain the shoes, wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, ensuring not to saturate the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
