FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for mountain biking or indoor cycling?
No, the Pinnacle Radium Road Cycling Shoes are specifically designed for road cycling and are compatible with 3-bolt road cleat systems. They are not suitable for mountain bike pedals (2-bolt SPD style) or extensive walking on rough terrain.
Are cleats included with the shoes?
Cleats are typically sold separately with your pedal system. These shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road cleats (e.g., Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo).
How do I choose the right size for these shoes?
We recommend referring to the UK sizing. Cycling shoes should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight, as feet can swell slightly during rides. Ensure there are no pressure points or excessive movement.
Can I walk long distances in these shoes?
While short-distance walking is possible, these shoes are not designed for extensive walking. The exposed cleats can be slippery on various surfaces and will wear down quickly, which can affect pedal engagement.
What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?
These shoes are compatible with most 3-bolt road pedal systems, such as Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo, Wahoo Speedplay Road, and Time Xpresso.
How often should I clean my cycling shoes?
It's best to wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after each ride, especially if they are dirty. This helps prevent dirt and grime build-up and maintains the materials' appearance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose during a ride
Adjust the Turn Lock and touch fastening strap. The Turn Lock allows for fine-tuning, while the strap provides additional security. Ensure your foot is seated properly in the heel cup before tightening for optimal fit.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during rides
Ensure you are wearing appropriate cycling socks made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable synthetic microfibre upper and mesh tongue are designed to aid airflow, but proper sock choice is also crucial for managing perspiration.
Difficulty clipping into or unclipping from pedals
Check your cleat alignment and wear. Ensure cleats are securely attached and not excessively worn. A small amount of dry lubricant (like wax or PTFE spray) applied to the pedal engagement mechanism can also improve function if stiffness persists. Practice clipping in and out in a safe environment.
Power transfer feels inefficient or feet slip within the shoe
Verify that your cleats are correctly positioned and securely tightened. Incorrect cleat placement or loose bolts can reduce power transfer. Also, ensure the Turn Lock and strap are snug, providing a secure hold without being overly tight.
Squeaking sound coming from shoes or pedals
This can often be caused by dry or worn cleats, or the interface between the cleat and pedal. Clean both cleats and pedals thoroughly, and if necessary, apply a dry lubricant to the cleat and pedal contact points. Check if cleats need replacement due to wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Pinnacle Radium Road Cycling Shoes are designed for use with a 3-bolt road cleat system (e.g., Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo). Cleats are typically sold separately with your pedals.
- Unpack: Carefully remove shoes from packaging.
- Inspect: Check shoes for any damage or manufacturing defects.
- Install Cleats:
- Locate the two or three threaded holes on the bottom of each shoe's outsole.
- Align your chosen 3-bolt road cleats with these holes.
- Insert the cleat bolts through the cleat and into the shoe's outsole.
- Lightly tighten the bolts by hand.
- Adjust cleat position (fore/aft, side-to-side, and rotational angle) to your preferred riding style and comfort. Experimentation may be required to find your ideal position.
- Once satisfied with the position, firmly tighten the bolts using an appropriate hex key or cleat wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cleats or shoe.
Compatibility
- Pedal Systems: Compatible with most 3-bolt road pedal systems (e.g., Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo, Wahoo Speedplay Road, Time Xpresso).
- Riding Type: Best suited for road cycling, including training, commuting, and recreational rides.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Pinnacle Radium Road Cycling Shoes:
- Cleaning: Clean with a soft, damp cloth after each ride, especially if dirty. For stubborn mud or grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the synthetic materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight for extended periods) as this can deform or damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Cleat Maintenance: Periodically check cleat bolts for tightness and replace worn cleats to maintain safe and efficient engagement with your pedals. Worn cleats can lead to poor engagement or accidental unclipping.
