FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
While primarily designed for trail and gravel riding, the stiff carbon outsole offers excellent power transfer which can benefit some road cyclists. However, they are optimized for mountain bike cleat systems and offer more robust tread than typical road shoes.
How do I adjust the cleat position?
The shoes feature independent cleat positioning, meaning you can slide your cleats forward or backward and adjust their angle within the mounting holes on the outsole to fine-tune your fit.
Can the dials be replaced if they break?
Yes, the NUUN dials are designed as replaceable parts to extend the lifespan of the shoes. Consult the manufacturer's website or a local bike shop for replacement procedures.
What is the stiffness rating of the outsole?
The X3CC carbon composite outsole has a stiffness index of 8, indicating a very stiff and efficient sole for power transfer.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to Sidi Sport Srl's official sizing chart, which typically aligns UK sizes with European and US measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The WYVE engineered fabric is breathable and water-resistant to a degree, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. They are designed for performance in varied conditions, not submersion.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty securing the fit with dials
Ensure the laces are not tangled. Try loosening the dials completely before re-tightening. Check that the dials are clean and free of debris.
Pressure points or discomfort
Loosen the dials and adjust the anatomical instep strap. Experiment with different cleat positions to find optimal foot placement. Consider trying different sock thicknesses.
Reduced traction on pedals
Ensure cleats are properly installed and aligned. Clean the rubber zones on the outsole if they are caked with mud or debris.
Dials feel stiff or hard to turn
Inspect the dial and cable mechanism for dirt or obstructions. Gently clean the mechanism. If the issue persists, consider contacting customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Fit Adjustment: Place the shoes on your feet and fasten the dual NUUN dials, tightening them evenly until a snug, secure fit is achieved. Adjust the anatomical instep strap for comfort and to eliminate pressure points.
Compatibility:
- Cleats: Designed for mountain bike (2-bolt) cleat systems.
- Pedals: Compatible with most clipless mountain bike pedals.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Dials: Periodically check the NUUN dials for debris. Clean gently with a soft brush if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
