FAQs
Are the SHIMANO GE700 shoes compatible with flat pedals?
No, the GE700 is specifically designed for use with 2-bolt SPD clipless pedal systems.
Can I walk in these shoes comfortably?

What is the sole stiffness rating?
The GE700 features a stiffness rating of 6, which offers a balance between pedaling efficiency and trail walking comfort.
How should I clean the synthetic leather?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away mud, then air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for enduro racing?
Yes, they are specifically engineered for gravity and enduro riding requirements.
What kind of fit can I expect?

Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose during pedaling
Check that the mounting bolts are torqued correctly and ensure the cleat interface is free of mud or debris.
Difficulty clipping out of pedals
Adjust the tension setting on your pedals or check if the cleat is worn down and needs replacement.
Upper material feels stiff
Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned and do not overtighten the instep strap, which can restrict circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, align your SPD cleats with the mounting points on the sole and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specifications. These shoes are compatible with standard 2-bolt SPD cleat systems. For care, avoid using high-pressure water which can force grit into the material. After muddy rides, remove the cleats and clean the sole area, then wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and synthetic materials.
