FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Velosamba features a leather construction which provides some water resistance, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof.

Can I use these with road bike pedals?

No, these are designed exclusively for two-bolt mountain bike (SPD) style pedals.

Are they comfortable for walking long distances?

Yes, the two-thirds length midsole plate allows for a natural walking gait, though they are primarily optimized for cycling performance.

How do I maintain the leather?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner if the material begins to look dry or dull.

Do the reflective stripes work in the rain?

Yes, the reflective 3-Stripes are designed to be visible in various lighting conditions, though their effectiveness may be reduced if covered in mud or heavy grime.

Troubleshooting

Cleats feel loose or rattle while pedaling

Check the mounting bolts on the bottom of the shoe and ensure they are fully tightened with an Allen key.

Difficulty clipping into pedals

Ensure no debris or mud is packed into the cleat recess on the shoe sole and verify your pedal tension is set correctly.

Laces coming loose during rides

Ensure the lace ends are tucked securely into the integrated lace bungee located on the tongue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Looks like a regular sneaker, ideal for office or casual settings
  • Excellent balance of pedaling stiffness and walking comfort
  • Reflective elements improve safety for night commuting
  • Secure lace management system keeps laces away from chainrings
  • Durable leather construction for daily use

Cons

  • Compatible only with two-bolt cleat systems (e.g., SPD)
  • Not intended for high-performance road racing or long-distance touring
  • Leather material requires more maintenance than synthetic options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

To use the Velosamba with clipless pedals, align your two-bolt cleats (such as Shimano SPD) with the mounting holes on the outsole. Ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque setting. Always test your entry and exit tension on a stationary bike before riding on the road.

Compatibility

These shoes are compatible with two-bolt pedal systems only. They are not compatible with three-bolt road-style (SPD-SL/Look) systems.

Care

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after rides to remove road grime.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
