FAQs
Can these be used for road cycling?
While you can technically pedal in them, they are specifically engineered for flat mountain bike pedals and lack the stiffness required for high-performance road cycling.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are water-resistant due to the leather construction but are not classified as waterproof.
Do I need special pedals for these?
They work best with flat mountain bike pedals that feature aggressive pins for the rubber to grip.
How do I determine the right size?
These follow standard adult UK sizing; we recommend checking your current athletic footwear size for consistency.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Poor grip on pedals
Clean the soles of your shoes to remove dirt build-up and ensure your pedal pins are sharp and not missing.
Shoes feel heavy or waterlogged
Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated room; do not use a clothes dryer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Industry-leading pedal grip and traction

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed for use with flat mountain bike pedals. Ensure your pedals have adequate pins to engage with the Dotty tread pattern for optimal results.
Compatibility: These are flat shoes and are not compatible with clipless (SPD/crank-based) pedal systems.
Care:
- Remove excess mud after every ride using a soft-bristled brush.
- If the interior gets wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture.
- Avoid drying in direct, high heat or in front of radiators, as this can crack or shrink the leather upper.
- Treat the leather periodically with an appropriate leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
