FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD pedals from other brands?
Yes, they are compatible with any brand of SPD cleat.
Can I replace the match shim?
Yes, the match shim is removable and adjustable to accommodate different pedal profiles.
How do I clean the perforated mesh?
Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently clear mud from the mesh windows, then air dry.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes prioritize ventilation and breathability over waterproofing.
What is the purpose of the lace pocket?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping into pedals
Adjust or remove the match shim under the cleat to ensure proper clearance with your specific pedal model.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tightened evenly and check that the internal heel dots are free from debris or dust.
Laces coming undone
Double knot the laces and ensure they are fully tucked into the dedicated lace pocket on the tongue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, ensure the pre-installed match shim is configured correctly for your pedal system. If you are using a non-Crankbrothers pedal, you may need to remove the grey match shim to achieve the correct cleat depth. For care, keep the shoes clean by wiping off mud after rides; use a soft brush for the mesh areas and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials and padding.
