Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Velosamba Cold.Rdy Cycling Shoes are designed for adult, unisex riders who want to extend their cycling season into colder weather without sacrificing style. Their key benefit is providing warmth and comfort during cold rides while maintaining the classic Samba sneaker aesthetic. A potential caveat is that the two-thirds-length midsole plate might feel less flexible for some riders during off-bike walking compared to a full sneaker. These shoes feature COLD.RDY insulation, a two-bolt cleat compatible outsole for efficient pedaling, and a reflective upper for low-light visibility, all constructed with a blend of recycled and renewable materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold, icy conditions?
The COLD.RDY insulation provides warmth for cold weather, but for extreme sub-zero temperatures or icy conditions, you may need to supplement with insulated socks or dedicated winter cycling boots.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes for extended periods?
The shoes feature a two-thirds length midsole plate that balances pedaling efficiency with some walking flexibility. They are comfortable for short walks, such as around a cafe stop, but are not designed for extensive walking.
What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?
These shoes are compatible with two-bolt cleat systems, commonly used for mountain biking and commuting pedals (e.g., SPD).
How do I clean the reflective upper?
Wipe the reflective upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which can damage the reflective material.
Do these shoes come with cleats?
No, the cleats are not included with the shoes. You will need to purchase and install compatible two-bolt cleats separately.
What is the weight of the shoes?
The shoes weigh approximately 459 grams for a UK size 8.5.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature COLD.RDY insulation for warmth and are designed to resist cold and wind. They offer some water resistance but are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the bungee lace closure for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size and consider if the two-thirds midsole plate requires a brief break-in period.
Cleats not engaging with pedals properly
Verify that the correct type of two-bolt cleats are installed and properly aligned. Ensure there are no obstructions in the cleat area or pedal mechanism.
Feet feel cold despite insulation
Confirm the bungee laces are securely fastened to seal out cold air. For extreme cold, consider using insulated socks or adding shoe covers.
Reflective elements not visible
Ensure the shoes are clean and free of dirt, which can obscure reflective properties. The reflectivity is designed to work best under direct light sources in low-light conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use. Ensure your pedals are equipped with a two-bolt cleat system. Install your preferred two-bolt cleats (not included) onto the designated area on the outsole, following the cleat manufacturer's instructions. Adjust the bungee lace closure for a secure, comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Compatible with all major two-bolt clipless pedal systems, such as SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) and Crankbrothers. Not compatible with three-bolt road bike pedal systems.
Care: To clean, wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
