FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
No, these Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes are specifically designed for SPD pedal systems, which are commonly used in mountain biking, commuting, and indoor cycling. Road cycling typically uses different cleat systems like SPD-SL or Look Keo.
How do I clean my Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes?
You should wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash them or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the materials and compromise their waterproof properties.
What kind of pedals are these shoes compatible with?
These shoes are compatible with two-bolt clipless pedal systems, commonly known as SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics).
Are the cleats included with the shoes?
No, cleats are typically sold separately with your SPD pedals. You will need to attach your SPD cleats to the soles of these shoes.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes feature a waterproof design to help keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, extreme conditions or prolonged submersion could challenge this, and water can enter from the ankle opening if not properly covered.
Can I use these shoes for walking?
While designed for cycling, the reinforced sole plate offers enough flexibility for comfortable walking off the bike for short distances, especially with recessed SPD cleats that won't interfere as much as road cleats.
What materials are the shoes made from?
The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials, the inner is textile, and the sole is synthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to clip into pedals or unclip from pedals.
Check if your SPD cleats are correctly installed and tightened. Ensure there's no mud or debris in the cleat area or on the pedals. Sometimes, new cleats or pedals require a 'break-in' period. Adjust the tension setting on your SPD pedals if they allow for it.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during rides.
Ensure the shoes are properly ventilated. While they have mesh panels, using appropriate cycling socks made of moisture-wicking materials can significantly improve comfort. Check if the shoes are laced too tightly, restricting airflow.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause pressure points.
Verify that the fit is correct for your foot size (UK 5.5). Adjust the triple touch and close fasteners evenly across your foot; avoid overtightening one strap. Consider trying different cycling socks. Ensure your SPD cleats are positioned correctly as improper cleat placement can lead to discomfort.
Shoes feel damp inside after riding in wet conditions, despite being waterproof.
While the shoes are waterproof, severe conditions or prolonged exposure can sometimes challenge any waterproof barrier. Ensure the fasteners are securely closed to prevent water ingress from the top. After riding, allow the shoes to thoroughly air dry to prevent any moisture buildup from sweat or absorbed water around the ankle opening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
These Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes are designed for SPD pedal systems. Cleats (not included with the shoes) must be attached to the sole for use with SPD pedals. To attach your SPD cleats:
- Locate the two threaded holes on the sole of each shoe.
- Align your SPD cleats with these holes.
- Secure the cleats using the provided bolts and washers that come with your SPD cleats/pedals. Adjust their position slightly forward/backward or rotationally to find your most comfortable and efficient pedaling position.
- Tighten the bolts firmly, but do not overtighten, to secure the cleats in place.
Compatibility
These shoes are exclusively compatible with SPD-style two-bolt clipless pedal systems. They are not designed for road cycling pedal systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo) or flat pedals.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Muddyfox MTB100 Cycling Shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: After a wet ride or cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the sole and cleats for wear. Replace worn cleats to maintain safe and efficient pedal engagement.
