Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Five Ten Hellcat shoes, install your chosen mountain bike cleats into the provided mounting area on the outsole. Ensure the cleat bolts are tightened to your pedal manufacturer's specifications. For care, avoid using harsh detergents or high-heat drying methods, which can damage the leather or compromise the adhesives. After muddy rides, remove excess debris with a soft brush and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly check that your cleats are secure and that the strap fasteners remain free of grit for maximum longevity.
