Product Information

Full details

The FOX Union Canvas Shoes are designed for cyclists who need versatile footwear that performs on the bike and looks great off it.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?

No, the FOX Union Canvas Shoes are specifically designed for use with flat pedals. They feature a sole pattern optimized for grip on pedal pins.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on if possible is always the best option.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and sole construction. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as described in the care instructions.

What is the main advantage of the Ultratac™ outsole?

The Ultratac™ outsole is engineered to provide a superior balance of grip and durability, ensuring reliable traction on pedals and longevity for the shoe.

How does the internal stiffening plate help?

The internal stiffening plate optimizes power transfer from your legs to the pedals during cycling while also contributing to comfort when walking.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not waterproof. The canvas upper offers some resistance to light moisture but will absorb water in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

A single shoe weighs approximately 373g (13.2oz).

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during ride

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Utilize the elastic lace-keeper strap to secure the knot and prevent it from loosening or catching on the bike.

Reduced grip on pedals

Clean the Ultratac outsole and the pins on your flat pedals. Check for excessive wear on the shoe's lugs or pedal pins.

Discomfort after prolonged use

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Break them in gradually. Consider if the internal stiffening plate is providing adequate support for your riding style; adjust lacing for a more personalized fit.

Canvas upper getting excessively dirty

Regularly clean the canvas with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized canvas cleaner or a diluted mild soap solution, followed by rinsing and air drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent on-bike grip and pedal feel.
  • Versatile design suitable for riding and casual wear.
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe protection.
  • Comfortable for extended use both on and off the bike.
  • Stylish, understated aesthetic.

Cons

  • May not offer the same level of protection as dedicated MTB shoes in extreme conditions.
  • Canvas upper, while durable, might be less breathable than synthetic materials.
  • Lace-keeper may not be sufficient for very aggressive riding styles.
  • Sole stiffness is optimized for versatility, not maximum power transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Union Canvas Shoes feature a traditional lace-up closure system. Ensure laces are tied securely, and use the integrated elastic lace-keeper strap to tuck away excess laces, preventing them from snagging on the bike's drivetrain.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for use with flat pedals. The custom hex-shaped lugs are engineered to interface effectively with the pins found on most popular flat pedal systems.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the canvas upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris from the Ultratac outsole and lug patterns.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
