Product Information
Full details
The Trek PAC Circuit Road Cycling Shoes are designed for adult cyclists seeking a blend of everyday comfort and on-bike efficiency. They offer a revolutionary fit with METNET relief zones and a relaxed performance fit for extended wear, though the composite plate's moderate stiffness might not suit pure racers demanding maximum power transfer. Key features include a BOA L6 dial for precise adjustment, a hook-and-loop toe strap, a perforated upper for ventilation, and compatibility with both 2- and 3-bolt cleat systems, all while incorporating recycled materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
The Trek PAC Circuit shoes offer good pedaling efficiency with their nylon composite plate and BOA fit system, making them suitable for training and amateur racing. However, for elite racers demanding maximum stiffness and power transfer, carbon-soled shoes might be preferred.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes?
Yes, the nylon composite plate is designed to be compliant enough for comfortable walking, especially for short distances like walking to a cafe or around a trailhead. The tread offers some grip on pavement.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking cycling-specific socks. These socks help manage sweat and prevent blisters, enhancing comfort during your rides.
How do I clean the recycled materials in the upper?
The recycled materials are cleaned the same way as conventional materials: use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure to air dry completely.
What is the stiffness index of the sole?
The nylon composite plate has a stiffness index of 7 out of 14 on Trek's scale, indicating a good balance between stiffness for power transfer and flexibility for walking comfort.
Can I replace the BOA L6 dial and cable if they get damaged?
BOA systems are generally serviceable. Replacement parts and guides for replacing the dial and cable are often available through BOA or Trek dealers. Consult your local bike shop for assistance.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening or loosening the BOA L6 dial
Ensure the dial and cable are free from debris. If the dial feels stuck, gently try to wiggle it while turning. If persistent, check for any obstructions or damaged cabling.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Loosen the BOA dial and toe strap, reposition your foot, and re-tighten, ensuring even pressure. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit, or cleat position might need adjustment.
Slipping heel
Ensure the BOA dial is tightened sufficiently and the hook-and-loop toe strap is secured. Check sock thickness; a thinner sock might cause slippage. Ensure the shoe size is correct.
Ventilation seems poor
Ensure the perforated upper is not blocked by mud or debris. Wear moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat. On very hot days, ventilation is limited by shoe design, but this model offers good airflow for its class.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent comfort for long rides due to relaxed fit and relief zones.
- Versatile cleat compatibility (2- and 3-bolt systems).
- Precise and easy fit adjustment with the BOA L6 dial.
- Good ventilation to keep feet cool.
- Durable construction suitable for everyday cycling.
Cons
- Nylon composite plate is less stiff than full carbon options, potentially limiting ultimate power transfer for elite racers.
- May not be ideal for riders seeking an extremely narrow, race-specific fit.
- BOA system only has one dial, limiting independent adjustment of lower and upper foot fit.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cleat Installation: Before first use, attach your preferred 2-bolt or 3-bolt cleats to the sole of the shoes using the provided inserts. Ensure cleats are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening.
- Fit Adjustment: Put on the shoes and tighten the BOA L6 dial by turning it clockwise until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Use the hook-and-loop toe strap for additional fine-tuning if needed.
Compatibility:
- Cleat Systems: Compatible with both 3-bolt road cleat patterns and 2-bolt SPD-style mountain bike cleat patterns. Please ensure your chosen pedals and cleats match one of these standards.
- Pedals: Works with a wide range of clipless pedals designed for the compatible cleat systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
