Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed primarily for flat pedal use. To maintain the integrity of the canvas material, it is recommended to brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush after each ride. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the adhesives and canvas weave. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could warp the materials or cause the rubber compound to harden prematurely.
