FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with non-Crankbrothers pedals?
Yes, these shoes are compatible with all brands of SPD cleats. You may simply need to adjust or remove the included Match shim.
Can I use these for road cycling?
While technically compatible with SPD cleats, these are designed specifically for mountain biking and offer a tread pattern better suited for trail use and walking.
How do I store the laces?
There is a small integrated lace pocket located at the top of the tongue where you can tuck the ends of your laces after tying them.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature ventilated windows and perforated mesh for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof.
What tools do I need to adjust the cleats?
A standard hex key (Allen wrench) is typically all that is required to adjust or replace your cleats.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in or out
Check if the Match shim needs to be adjusted or removed based on your specific pedal brand's height requirements.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly and check that the internal heel dots are free of dirt or debris that might reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, ensure the pre-installed cleats are tightened securely using a standard hex key. If you are not using Crankbrothers-specific pedals, you may need to remove the grey Match shim from the sole to ensure proper cleat clearance. Maintenance is straightforward: after muddy rides, remove your cleats and clean the Match Box area with a soft brush to prevent debris buildup. For the uppers, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents to maintain the integrity of the mesh panels.
