Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Five Ten Hellcat shoes, ensure your mountain bike pedal cleats are tightened securely within the designated clip-compatible channel on the outsole. Always verify that your cleat position allows for easy engagement and disengagement before heading out on the trail.
For care, clean the leather upper after muddy rides by brushing off dried dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure washers, which can degrade the adhesive and leather material. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping.
