FAQs
What type of cycling are the ERGO 6 shoes best suited for?
The ERGO 6 shoes are well-suited for performance-oriented road cycling, including long training rides, sportive events, and competitive racing, due to their stiff carbon sole and efficient power transfer features.
How do I adjust the fit of the shoe while riding?
The Dial system allows for quick and precise micro-adjustments. Simply turn the dial to tighten or loosen the fit as needed, even while pedaling.
Are the parts on the ERGO 6 shoes replaceable?
Yes, the ERGO 6 shoes are designed with replaceable parts, which contributes to their longevity and maintenance.
What is the stiffness rating of the R2FC Carbon sole?
The R2FC Carbon sole has a stiffness rating that ranges from 5 to 12, indicating a very stiff sole designed for maximum power transfer.
Can I use these shoes with any type of pedal?
The ERGO 6 shoes are designed for road cycling pedal systems. You will need to install compatible cleats (e.g., for Look or SPD-SL systems) that match your pedals.
How should I clean my ERGO 6 cycling shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth after rides to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What makes the Unum Ergo anatomical tongue beneficial?
The Unum Ergo anatomical tongue is shaped to conform to the natural contours of the foot, distributing pressure more evenly across the top of the foot and reducing the risk of discomfort or hot spots during long rides.
Troubleshooting
Dial system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the Dyneema® cable is not tangled or caught. Check for debris in the dial mechanism. If issues persist, consult the manufacturer's documentation for specific cleaning or maintenance steps for the dial.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Re-adjust the Dial system for a more even fit. Ensure the Unum Ergo tongue is positioned correctly. Consider trying different sock thicknesses or consulting a professional bike fitter for personalized cleat and shoe adjustments.
Heel slipping during pedaling
Ensure the Dial system is tightened sufficiently to secure the heel. Check if the shoe size is appropriate; a shoe that is too large will cause heel slip. The heel counter is designed for support, but proper fit is crucial.
Sole feels too stiff or uncomfortable on long rides
The R2FC Carbon sole is designed for stiffness and power transfer. If discomfort arises, it may be an indication of improper fit or cleat positioning. Consult a bike fitter or experiment with cleat adjustments. For less aggressive riding, consider a shoe with a lower stiffness rating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cleat Installation: Ensure you have compatible cleats (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Kéo). Align the cleats with the mounting points on the R2FC Carbon sole according to your preferred pedal system and individual cleat pedal positioning needs. Tighten securely.
- Shoe Fit Adjustment: Loosen the Dial system completely. Slide your foot into the shoe and then tighten the Dial system until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the Dyneema® cable is evenly distributed across the shoe's closure.
Compatibility:
- Pedal Systems: Designed for use with most major road bike pedal systems. Always confirm compatibility with your specific pedals.
- Socks: Use cycling-specific socks for best results, as they are designed to manage moisture and prevent friction.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the microfiber upper and sole with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
