FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, their focus on comfort and ease of adjustment makes them a great choice for beginners getting into road cycling, as well as more experienced riders.
What type of cleats are compatible with these shoes?
These shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road cleat systems, such as Look KEO and SPD-SL. Cleats are sold separately and typically come with your pedals.
Can I walk in these cycling shoes?
While you can walk short distances, road cycling shoes with exposed cleats are not designed for extensive walking. Walking will wear out the cleats quickly and can be slippery.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Cycling shoes should fit snugly without being painful. Your toes should not touch the end, and your heel should not lift significantly when pedaling. We recommend trying them on to confirm the fit.
Are these shoes suitable for indoor cycling or spin classes?
Yes, if the indoor cycling bikes or spin class pedals use a 3-bolt road cleat system, these shoes would be perfectly suitable.
Do I need special socks to wear with these shoes?
While not strictly required, cycling-specific socks are recommended. They are designed to wick moisture, prevent chafing, and offer targeted cushioning, enhancing overall comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the Turn Lock dial and touch fastening strap. For tightness, loosen the dial slightly. For looseness, tighten the dial incrementally until a secure but comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure socks are appropriate for cycling.
Foot discomfort or hot spots during rides
Check your cleat position; minor adjustments can significantly impact comfort. Also, ensure the shoe is not overtightened, which can restrict circulation. Consider using different cycling socks to improve ventilation and reduce friction.
Difficulty clipping into or out of pedals
Lubricate your pedal cleats and pedal engagement points with a dry lubricant. Check if your cleats are worn and need replacement. Ensure the tension on your pedals is set correctly (if adjustable).
Squeaking sound from shoes
Often caused by cleats or bolts. Tighten cleat bolts, or apply a small amount of wax or dry lubricant to the interface between the cleat and the shoe sole, or between the cleat and the pedal.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Primarily designed for road cycling; not suitable for off-road or mountain biking

Setup
- Cleat Installation: These shoes require a 3-bolt road cleat system (e.g., Look KEO, SPD-SL). Position your cleats on the outsole using the provided bolt holes. Start with a neutral position and adjust forward/backward and rotationally to find your most comfortable and efficient setup. Ensure bolts are tightened securely to manufacturer specifications.
- Fitting: With socks on, insert your foot and fasten the touch fastening strap first for initial snugness. Then, use the Turn Lock dial to gradually tighten the shoe until it feels secure without being overly constrictive. Your heel should feel locked in, and your toes should have a small amount of wiggle room.
Compatibility
- Pedal Systems: Compatible with most 3-bolt road clipless pedal systems.
- Cycling Activities: Ideal for road cycling, including training, commuting, group rides, and long-distance touring.
Care
- Cleaning: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your shoes, clean them with a soft, damp cloth after dirty rides. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Cleat Maintenance: Regularly check your cleats for wear and tear, and replace them when necessary to ensure optimal performance and safety.
