FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Livewire is specifically designed as a flat pedal mountain bike shoe and does not feature cleat mounts.
How do I determine my size?
Ride Concepts generally fits true to size. If you prefer thicker riding socks, some riders choose to go a half-size up.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is weather-resistant, meaning it can handle light splashes and puddles, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the adhesives and structural integrity of the sole; hand washing is preferred.
Do these shoes provide enough arch support?
Yes, the dual-density EVA insole is designed to provide balanced support and cushioning for various foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during rides
Ensure you are securely using the provided elastic lace tuck to hold the loops against the tongue.
Shoes smelling after heavy use
Remove the insoles to air dry and use an anti-bacterial spray; the inner lining is treated, but thorough drying is the best defense against odor.
Excessive dirt inside the shoe
Verify that the tongue is centered and fully gusseted before tightening the laces to maintain the protective seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for use with standard flat MTB pedals. When setting up your ride, ensure your pedals have adequate pins to take full advantage of the High Grip rubber sole. For maintenance, clean the shoes using a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove mud after wet rides. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area—do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may damage the adhesive and synthetic materials. Ensure the elastic lace tuck is used after tying your shoes to prevent the laces from catching on cranks or chainrings.
