Troubleshooting
Difficulty engaging or disengaging from clipless pedals
Ensure cleats are clean and correctly installed. Check pedal tension and adjust if possible. Practice engaging and disengaging in a safe, flat area.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust cleat position for a more neutral stance. Ensure laces and Velcro strap are snug but not overly tight. Consider aftermarket insoles if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Cleat Installation: The shoes feature an offset cleat box with extended longitudinal adjustment. Use a 4mm Allen key to attach your compatible clipless cleats to the mounting points inside the shoe. Experiment with fore/aft and rotational positions to find your optimal stance before final tightening.
Lacing: Secure the shoes using the traditional lace closure, ensuring a snug fit. Fasten the Velcro strap over the laces for added security and a locked-in feel.

Care:
Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. The quick-dry lining will help speed this process.
