FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Freerider is designed specifically for flat pedals and does not have the necessary mounting points for cleats.
Can I wear these for activities other than mountain biking?
Yes, the versatile design and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear or light hiking.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Freerider generally fits true to size. Ensure you have enough room in the toe box for comfort during pedaling.
How sustainable are these trainers?
These shoes are crafted with at least 50% recycled materials, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact.
Can I clean the leather upper with chemicals?
We recommend using only a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip or damage the leather's finish.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels reduced on pedals
Clean the soles thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove dirt or oil buildup that can interfere with the Stealth rubber grip.
Shoes are damp inside after washing
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture; let them air dry in a cool, shaded place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed exclusively for flat mountain bike pedals and are not compatible with SPD or other clipless systems. To ensure a secure fit, use the traditional lace closure system to tighten the shoe across the bridge of your foot before starting your ride.
For care, avoid machine washing the leather upper, as this can degrade the material. After muddy outings, wipe away debris with a soft-bristled brush and damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather and adhesive to crack or lose integrity.
