FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
The Endura MT500 Burner Clipless Shoes are primarily designed for mountain biking, featuring aggressive tread for off-bike traction. While they can be used with road clipless pedals, their tread pattern and sole stiffness are optimized for trail riding, not road racing or touring.
What type of cleats do these shoes use?
These shoes are compatible with standard 2-bolt clipless pedal systems, commonly known as SPD-style cleats.
How do I adjust the cleat position?
The cleat box offers extended longitudinal adjustment. Loosen your cleats, slide them forward or backward to your desired position, and then retighten securely. Experimentation is key to finding your optimal stance.
Can I use these shoes with flat pedals?
No, these are clipless shoes and are designed to engage with clipless pedal systems using cleats. They are not suitable for use with flat pedals.
How durable is the StickyFoot Grip material?
StickyFoot Grip is engineered for excellent pedal engagement and durability in clipless systems. StickyFoot Dura on the toe and heel offers enhanced wear resistance for walking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the shoes feature a quick-dry lining to help manage moisture, they are not fully waterproof. The upper materials offer some resistance to light splashes, but they are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.
What is the main difference between the MT500 Burner Clipless and other cycling shoes?
The MT500 Burner Clipless shoes combine a progressive, trainer-like aesthetic with specific mountain biking features such as enhanced grip, durability, and adjustable cleat placement, making them ideal for technical trail riding.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty engaging with clipless pedals
Ensure cleats are correctly installed and clean. Check that the pedal springs are not overly stiff. Try adjusting the cleat position slightly.
Foot discomfort or numbness during rides
Adjust the cleat position for a more neutral stance. Ensure laces are not overtightened. Consider using a different insole if the EGM insole does not suit your foot shape.
Poor traction when walking
Clean mud or debris from the StickyFoot Dura tread. Ensure cleats are recessed enough not to interfere with walking surfaces.
Shoes feel loose despite tightening laces
Ensure the Velcro strap is securely fastened over the laces. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate; a shoe that is too large will not feel secure.
