FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking off the bike?

Yes, the grippy outsole provides good traction for walking, especially when used with flat pedals. The comfort features also make them suitable for short periods off the bike.

Can I use these shoes with any type of clipless pedal system?

These shoes are designed to be compatible with SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) clipless pedal systems. Always check compatibility with your specific pedal brand and model.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud. For tougher dirt, a soft brush and mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Ensure they are air-dried afterward.

What is the main advantage of the velcro strap?

The velcro strap provides an additional point of adjustment to ensure a secure and locked-in fit, complementing the main lace closure for enhanced support and preventing the shoe from loosening during vigorous riding.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature a mesh tongue and collar for breathability, which means they are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

What sizes are available?

The Pinnacle Alder Cycling Shoes are available in various adult UK male sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the full range of available sizes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing and the velcro strap for a customized fit. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider the fit for your foot shape.

Difficulty engaging with clipless pedals

Ensure your cycling cleats are properly installed on the shoes and aligned correctly. Check that the pedal mechanism is clean and free of debris. Confirm that the shoes are indeed compatible with your chosen clipless system (e.g., SPD).

Heel slipping during ride

Tighten the laces and velcro strap, focusing on securing the heel area. Ensure your socks are providing adequate grip. The non-slip heel feature is designed to minimize this, but proper lacing is key.

Toe area scuffs easily

The abrasion panel is designed to protect against minor scuffs. For significant impacts, clean the area after riding. Regular cleaning will maintain the shoe's appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to ride straight out of the box. Simply lace them up and use the velcro strap for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tucked away neatly to avoid getting caught in the drivetrain.

Compatibility:

  • Pedals: The outsole is designed to be compatible with standard SPD clipless pedal systems and common flat pedals. When using clipless pedals, ensure your cleats are correctly installed on the shoes according to the pedal manufacturer's instructions.
  • Socks: For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear cycling-specific socks.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the shoes after rides using a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For more stubborn grime, a soft brush can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
