FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for gravel riding?
Yes, the grip and durability of the Atomus make them a robust choice for aggressive gravel terrain and mixed-surface adventure riding.
Does the shoe provide enough arch support?
The Atomus features a stable footbed designed for high-intensity performance, though many riders choose to use custom orthotic insoles for personalized arch support.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from drying out or discoloring.
Can I replace the laces if they break?
Yes, you can replace the factory laces with any high-quality, durable athletic laces of the appropriate length.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed to be water-resistant and durable in harsh conditions, but they are not fully waterproof and will allow water to permeate if submerged.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during rides
Use a double knot or tuck the excess lace loops back under the tightened laces to prevent snagging.
Difficulty cleaning dried mud from the outsole
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a soft-bristled brush to knock off debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional grip on technical terrain due to specialized rubber
- Reinforced construction protects toes from trail hazards
- Stable platform provides excellent power transfer
- Durable design built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions
Cons
- Lace-up closure lacks the on-the-fly micro-adjustment of BOA dials
- Requires manual effort to achieve precise tension across the foot
- Less ventilation compared to lightweight road-specific models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure you tighten the laces evenly from the bottom of the eyelets toward the top to distribute tension across the midfoot. For compatibility, ensure your pedals and cleats are correctly installed for your specific mountain bike setup. Maintenance is straightforward: after muddy rides, wipe the upper materials with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the specialized outsole compound.
