Full details
The Fox Union Cycling Shoes are engineered for adult mountain bikers seeking a balance of rugged durability and high-performance power transfer. Featuring the precise dual BOA Li2 closure system and a protective molded toe cap, these shoes offer exceptional security on technical terrain; however, users should note they are specifically designed for 2-bolt cleat systems and may require a break-in period for the internal stiffening plate to feel fully natural while walking.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, the Fox Union shoes are designed exclusively for 2-bolt MTB cleat systems and are not compatible with 3-bolt road systems.
Can I replace the D3O insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthopedic insoles if preferred.
How do I use the BOA dial system?
Push the dial down to engage and turn clockwise to tighten. Pull the dial up to release the tension instantly.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and breathable, but they are not fully waterproof, so they may allow water in during heavy rain or creek crossings.
What is the best way to dry them?
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture; let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from heat.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial not tightening
Check for debris or dirt inside the dial mechanism; use compressed air or a soft brush to clear it, then test the ratcheting action.
Cleats feel loose or shifting
Re-check the cleat bolt torque and ensure the interface between the shoe sole and the cleat is clean.
Foot discomfort on long rides
Try adjusting the arch support inserts included with the shoes to better match your foot profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are compatible with standard 2-bolt MTB cleat systems (such as Shimano SPD). When setting up your cleats, ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent them from loosening during rides. To clean, remove excess mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after your ride. If they become heavily soiled, use warm water and a mild soap; avoid using aggressive solvents that could degrade the Ultratac rubber. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials and damage the bonding agents.
