Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed exclusively for flat pedal systems and are not compatible with clipless pedals. To maintain the life of the leather and the integrity of the Stealth rubber, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning. If the shoes become muddy, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can compromise the rubber compound and leather structure.
