FAQs
Can I use these shoes for road cycling?
These shoes are designed with a two-bolt pattern primarily for mountain, gravel, or touring cycling, rather than three-bolt road systems.
How often should I replace the rubber inserts?
Replacement frequency depends on how much walking you do on abrasive surfaces. Inspect them every few months for signs of excessive wear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made from suede, which is naturally porous. They should be treated with a water-repellent spray if used in damp conditions.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structure of the shoe. Always hand clean with a soft brush.
Is the Firmor closure adjustable?
Yes, the system is designed to provide micro-adjustments for a custom, secure fit tailored to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose while clipped in
Check that the mounting bolts are fully tightened and ensure the cleat base is not blocked by debris.
Suede upper feels stiff or hard after drying
Gently brush the suede with a suede-specific brush to restore the nap and soften the fibers.
Firmor closure does not feel secure
Clear any debris or grit from the closure mechanism and ensure the tensioning system is not obstructed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lateral stability provided by the Firmor system
- Replaceable sole inserts improve long-term durability
- Premium suede material provides a comfortable, personalized fit
- Versatile design suitable for both intensive riding and walking segments
Cons
- Suede material is more sensitive to mud and water than synthetic alternatives
- Requires periodic maintenance of the replaceable rubber inserts
- Limited to specific fit profiles that may not suit all foot widths
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify your cleat alignment before your first ride. The Aertis shoes are compatible with standard mountain bike (MTB) style two-bolt cleat systems. Installation is standard: align the cleats with the mounting holes on the nylon sole and torque to the manufacturer's recommended settings.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For stubborn stains on the suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can compromise the suede and adhesive bonds.
- Maintenance: Check the replaceable rubber inserts periodically. If the grip pattern wears down, order a replacement set to maintain safe traction.
