Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Velosamba Cold.Rdy Cycling Shoes are designed for adult, unisex cyclists looking to extend their riding season into colder weather. Their key benefit is providing warmth and weather protection without sacrificing the classic Samba style and sneaker-like walking comfort. A potential caveat for some users may be the specific fit, which should be carefully considered for optimal performance. These shoes blend efficient pedaling with everyday wearability, featuring COLD.RDY insulation, a two-thirds-length midsole plate for flex support, and two-bolt cleat compatibility.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature COLD.RDY insulation for warmth and are designed to resist cold and light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for riding in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What type of pedals are compatible with these shoes?

These shoes are compatible with two-bolt cleat systems, often referred to as SPD-compatible or mountain bike style clipless pedal systems.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart, typically available on the retailer's website or Adidas's official site, comparing your foot measurements to the UK sizing conversions.

Can I wear these for running?

These shoes are specifically designed for cycling and walking. The sole construction and cleat system are not suitable for running activities.

What is the weight of the shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 459 grams for a size UK 8.5.

How much recycled material is used?

The shoes contain a minimum of 20% total of recycled and renewable content, as part of Adidas's commitment to sustainability.

Will these keep my feet warm in freezing temperatures?

The COLD.RDY insulation provides significant warmth for cold weather, but effectiveness can vary based on individual circulation and the specific temperature. For extremely cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel cold despite insulation.

Ensure the bungee laces are snug to prevent drafts. Consider wearing warmer cycling socks or double-check that the COLD.RDY technology is not compromised by excessive moisture.

Cleats are not engaging properly.

Verify that the correct two-bolt cleats are installed and that they are aligned correctly with your pedal system. Ensure the cleats are securely fastened to the shoe.

Shoes feel stiff when walking.

The two-thirds-length midsole plate is designed for cycling efficiency. While it offers more flex than a full plate, some stiffness for walking is expected. Ensure the shoe fit is correct; a loose fit can exacerbate stiffness.

Reflective details are not very bright.

Reflectivity is dependent on the light source. Ensure you are in a location with direct light (e.g., headlights) for maximum visibility. The effectiveness may also diminish over time with heavy wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth for cold weather cycling.
  • Versatile design suitable for both riding and walking.
  • Improved visibility in low light due to reflective elements.
  • Classic Samba style appeals to fashion-conscious cyclists.
  • Supports efficient pedaling with clipless pedal compatibility.

Cons

  • Fit may require careful consideration for optimal performance.
  • May not be suitable for extreme winter conditions without additional insulation.
  • The two-thirds-length plate might feel less rigid than full-length plates for some riders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Cleat Installation: If using clipless pedals, install your two-bolt cleats onto the designated area on the outsole. Ensure they are tightened securely according to the cleat manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the bungee lace closure system for a secure and easily adjustable fit. The laces are designed to stay put during your ride.

Compatibility:

  • Pedals: These shoes are compatible with two-bolt cleat systems, commonly found on mountain biking and gravel bike pedals (e.g., SPD).
  • Socks: While the COLD.RDY insulation provides warmth, consider wearing mid-weight cycling socks for additional comfort in colder temperatures.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the upper and outsole using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
