FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?

These shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road cycling cleats, such as those used by brands like Shimano (SPD-SL), Look, and others.

What is the main advantage of the 'Made With Nature' aspect?
The 'Made With Nature' designation indicates the use of more sustainable and eco-conscious materials in the shoe's construction.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes?
While designed for cycling, the construction offers reasonable stability for walking short distances. However, prolonged walking is not recommended due to the stiff sole and cleat engagement.

Troubleshooting
Cleats not attaching securely
Ensure you are using the correct type of cleats for a 3-bolt road system and that they are tightened properly according to the cleat manufacturer's instructions.
Discomfort during ride
Check the cleat position for optimal alignment. Ensure laces or closure system are snug but not overly tight, and consider if insoles are needed for additional support.
Shoes feel stiff and inflexible
New cycling shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter rides initially and gradually increase duration as they mold to your feet.
