FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Freerider DLX series is designed specifically for flat pedals.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; choose your regular shoe size for the best fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction.
How long do the soles last?
Durability depends on riding frequency and pedal pin sharpness, but the Stealth S1 compound is engineered for long-term wear resistance.
Do these shoes provide ankle protection?
These are a low-cut model, offering excellent mobility, but minimal coverage for the ankle bone.
Troubleshooting
Shoes losing grip on pedals
Check your pedal pins for wear or debris buildup and clean the shoe sole to remove compacted mud.
Stiff leather causing discomfort
Wear the shoes for shorter walks to break them in gradually before undertaking long, full-day rides.
Water absorption in wet conditions
Apply a leather-safe water-repellent treatment to the exterior to improve moisture resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed primarily for flat pedal mountain biking and are compatible with all standard platform pedals. To maximize longevity, keep the leather clean by wiping away mud with a damp cloth after rides; avoid using harsh chemical solvents. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry in a cool, ventilated area—never expose leather shoes to direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces, as this can crack the material.
