FAQs
How do I know if the cleats will fit my shoes?
These cleats feature a universal fit design made from flexible, elastic material intended to stretch and secure over most adult and kids’ shoe types. However, for the best fit, ensure the cleat covers the entire sole and heel securely.
Are these cleats suitable for running?
While they provide enhanced grip for walking, they are not designed for high-impact activities like running, which can put excessive strain on the cleats and potentially lead to detachment or damage.
Can I wear these indoors?
It is recommended to remove the cleats before entering indoor environments. The metal studs can damage delicate flooring surfaces and reduce traction on smooth indoor surfaces.
How durable are the metal studs?
The metal studs are designed for durability and reliable traction on ice and snow. However, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt can cause wear over time.
How should I store the cleats when not in use?
After cleaning and drying, store the cleats in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain their flexibility and integrity.
What is the material of the cleats?
The cleats are made from a combination of durable silicone for flexibility and metal for the anti-slip studs.
Are there left and right specific cleats?
While most designs are symmetrical or adaptable, it's best to check for any specific markings or ensure the cleat contours naturally to the shape of your shoe for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose or slip off
Ensure you have stretched the silicone material fully over the heel of your shoe. For some shoe types, you may need to adjust the positioning or select a different size if available. Ensure the correct left/right orientation if applicable.
Reduced grip on very hard ice
Check that the metal studs are not worn down. For extremely icy conditions, ensure the cleats are properly seated and that the studs are making firm contact with the ice. Consider walking more slowly and deliberately.
Difficulty stretching cleats over shoes
Try stretching the cleats in a slightly warmer environment, as cold temperatures can make the silicone less pliable. You can also try warming them gently with your hands before attempting to put them on.
Metal studs appear loose or damaged
Inspect the studs for any damage. If they appear loose, check if there is a way to tighten them or if the product requires replacement. Contact customer support if the damage is significant.
