FAQs
What type of riding are the SILVIS XC shoes best suited for?
The SILVIS XC shoes are designed for a range of cycling, from recreational rides to more performance-oriented cross-country and trail riding, thanks to their balanced stiffness and protective features.
How do I adjust the fit of the shoes?
The shoes feature a dial system. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and pull the dial outwards to release the tension for a custom fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are constructed with TPU Fabric, which offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to dry relatively quickly.
What is the stiffness rating of the sole, and what does it mean?
The sole has a stiffness rating between 5 and 10. This indicates a moderately stiff to stiff sole, designed for efficient power transfer. A higher number generally means a stiffer sole.
Can I replace the cleats on these shoes?
Yes, the shoes are designed to accommodate standard cycling cleats, which can be replaced when worn out or if you wish to change your cleat system.
How do I clean the impact protectors?
The impact protectors are integrated into the shoe's construction. They can be cleaned using a damp cloth along with the rest of the shoe's exterior.
What is the benefit of the anatomical tongue?
The anatomical tongue is shaped to follow the natural contour of the foot, providing a more comfortable and consistent fit by reducing pressure points across the top of the foot.
Do these shoes come with cleats?
Typically, cycling shoes are sold without cleats. Cleats are usually purchased separately to ensure compatibility with your specific pedals and preferred cleat system.
Troubleshooting
Dial system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Check the dial and cables for dirt or debris. Clean gently with a soft brush. Ensure the dial is properly seated before attempting to adjust.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after a short period
Ensure the size is correct and try adjusting the dial system for a less constrictive fit. Consider if the sole stiffness is suitable for your preference. The anatomical tongue may require a few rides to break in.
Exterior material appears worn or scuffed
For minor scuffs, use a damp cloth. For more significant wear, consult a specialized shoe repair service. The TPU fabric is durable but can be marked by sharp impacts.
Cleats are not engaging with pedals
Verify that the cleats are correctly installed on the shoes and are compatible with your pedals. Ensure the pedal springs are not excessively stiff. Check cleat alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed to be compatible with standard cycling pedal systems that utilize clipless pedals. Ensure your pedals are properly installed and the cleat position on the shoes is adjusted for your biomechanics. The Dial System can be tightened by turning the dial clockwise and released by pulling the dial outwards.
Compatibility: Compatible with most clipless pedal systems. Always check your pedal manufacturer's recommendations for cleat compatibility.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources.
- Dial System Maintenance: Periodically check the dial and cable for debris. A soft brush can be used for cleaning. Ensure the dial moves freely.
