FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?
No, these are flat-sole shoes designed specifically for use with flat mountain bike pedals.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by SHIMANO and measure your foot length from heel to toe. For these shoes, a UK size 3 is indicated.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is preferred.
What is the primary benefit of the ULTREAD® GF rubber?
The ULTREAD® GF rubber compound is engineered to provide exceptional grip and control on flat pedals, ensuring your feet stay securely connected to the pedals.
How does the EVA foam contribute to comfort?
The layered half-length EVA foam absorbs impacts and vibrations from the trail, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort during rides.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not fully waterproof but feature a breathable fabric upper. They can absorb water in wet conditions, and proper drying is recommended.
What type of riding are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for gravity-focused riding disciplines like downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail riding, where flat-pedal grip and protection are paramount.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel numb or tingly during ride
Loosen the laces slightly, particularly around the forefoot. Ensure the elastic retaining strap is snug but not overly tight. Check that the shoe size is correct; too small a shoe can restrict circulation.
Shoes feel slippery on pedals
Ensure your pedal pins are in good condition and providing adequate grip. Clean both the shoe sole and the pedals to remove mud or debris that could reduce friction. The ULTREAD® GF rubber is designed for grip; ensure it is not excessively worn.
Excessive water absorption
While the fabric upper is breathable, it can absorb water. For very wet conditions, consider waterproofing sprays designed for footwear, or allow ample drying time after rides. Ensure the shoe is fully dry before storing.
