FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear, even off the bike?
Yes, the anatomical profile, ergonomic last, and comfortable fit make them suitable for all-day wear, including walking during breaks.
How do I clean the high-tenacity vented fabric?

What type of riding are the Nucleus Air shoes best for?
They are best suited for urban riding, daily commuting, and light adventure touring, offering a balance of comfort and protection.
Does the D3O® protection require any special maintenance?
No, the D3O® inserts are low-profile and require no special maintenance. They remain flexible in normal use and stiffen on impact.
Can I replace the laces on these shoes?
Yes, standard shoelaces can be used to replace the original ones if they become worn or damaged.
What is the primary benefit of the Fortex® patented system?
The Fortex® system provides enhanced stability to the shoe's internal structure without compromising its flexibility.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Readjust the extended lacing system, ensuring even pressure distribution across the foot. Consider alternative lacing techniques if specific pressure points arise.
Reduced breathability
Check that the mesh ventilation areas are clear of mud, dust, or debris. Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The Materiis compound is designed for versatile grip. Ensure the sole is clean. For extreme conditions, additional caution may be needed.
D3O® insert feels stiff while walking
D3O® is designed to remain flexible during normal movement and stiffen only upon impact. Minor stiffness can be normal; it should not impede comfortable walking.
