FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for mountain biking?

These shoes are primarily designed for road cycling, commuting, and urban riding. While they are two-bolt cleat compatible, the tread and overall design are optimized for on-bike performance and off-bike walking, not aggressive off-road trails.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. The shoe features a regular fit, but if you plan to wear thicker winter socks, consider sizing up slightly.

Can I wear these shoes without cleats?

Yes, you can wear them without cleats. However, they are designed with a midsole plate for pedaling efficiency, which may provide a different feel than a standard sneaker when walking extensively.

What does COLD.RDY mean?

COLD.RDY is Adidas' technology designed to trap heat and provide insulation, keeping you warm and dry during cold weather activities.

How much recycled material is in these shoes?

These shoes contain a minimum of 20% total recycled and renewable content, reflecting Adidas' commitment to reducing waste and reliance on finite resources.

Are they waterproof?

The shoes offer insulation and some water resistance due to their construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to keep feet warm and comfortable in cold, potentially damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or submersion.

What is the weight of the shoes?

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

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the bungee lace closure for a secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Consider the fit for walking versus cycling needs.

Cleats not engaging with pedals.

Check that your cleats are correctly installed and aligned on the shoe. Ensure your pedals are also properly installed and compatible.

Feet feel cold despite insulation.

Ensure socks are appropriate for cold weather. Check that the bungee laces are not overly tight, which can restrict circulation. Verify that the COLD.RDY technology is not compromised by damage.

Reflective details are not visible.

Reflective elements are most visible under direct light sources in low-light conditions. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt can obscure reflectivity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth for cold weather cycling.
  • Combines cycling performance with casual sneaker aesthetics.
  • Increased visibility due to reflective elements.
  • Supports sustainable practices with recycled and renewable materials.
  • Comfortable for both pedaling and walking.

Cons

  • May not provide the same stiffness as full-carbon race shoes.
  • The two-thirds-length plate might feel different for riders accustomed to full-length plates.
  • Bungee laces could be less secure for very aggressive riders compared to traditional laces or dials.
  • Sole stiffness for walking may be less than a pure casual shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are designed for use with two-bolt cleat systems (e.g., SPD). Ensure your pedals are compatible. Install your cleats onto the underside of the shoes following the manufacturer's instructions for your specific cleats. Adjust positioning for optimal comfort and power.

Compatibility: Compatible with most two-bolt clipless pedal systems. The reflective elements are integrated into the upper and 3-Stripes.

Care: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash.
