FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are designed to be water-resistant and offer warmth through COLD.RDY technology, helping to keep feet dry from light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for riding in heavy rain or through deep puddles.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For cold weather, thermal cycling socks are recommended to maximize warmth. For milder conditions or if you find the shoes too warm, thinner performance socks can be used.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to Adidas's official sizing chart for the most accurate conversion. Generally, cycling shoe fit should be snug but not tight, with enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly.

Can I use these shoes for indoor cycling?

Yes, if your indoor bike uses a two-bolt cleat system. The added warmth and style make them a comfortable option for indoor training during colder months.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Specific warranty information is best obtained directly from the retailer or the official Adidas website, as warranty terms can vary.

Do these shoes come with cleats?

No, the Adidas Velosamba Cold.Rdy Cycling Shoes are compatible with two-bolt cleats, but the cleats themselves are typically sold separately.

How much do these shoes weigh?

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

Troubleshooting

Cleats won't tighten securely

Ensure you are using the correct length screws for your cleats and pedal system. Check that the threaded inserts in the shoe are clean and free of debris.

Feet feel too warm during moderate rides

Consider wearing thinner socks or partially loosening the bungee laces. For warmer conditions, these shoes may be less suitable than non-insulated models.

Reflective details are less visible

Gently wipe the reflective areas with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch or damage the reflective coating.

Shoes feel stiff when walking

The two-thirds length midsole plate is designed for a balance. Wear the shoes for a few rides to allow them to break in. Ensure cleats are not protruding excessively, which can hinder walking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth for cold-weather cycling.
  • Combines cycling performance with sneaker-like walking comfort.
  • Increases rider safety with highly reflective elements.
  • Incorporates sustainable materials in its construction.
  • Offers a secure fit suitable for various riding conditions.

Cons

  • Requires specific two-bolt cleats, which may not be compatible with all pedal systems.
  • The style, while inspired by Samba, may not appeal to all cyclists.
  • Might be too warm for mild or hot weather conditions.
  • Weight at 459g (size UK 8.5) might be a consideration for performance-focused riders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Adidas Velosamba shoes are designed for compatibility with two-bolt (SPD-style) cleats. To install cleats, align them with the threaded inserts on the outsole and secure them using the appropriate screws. Ensure the cleats are positioned correctly for your preferred pedaling style. The bungee lace closure should be tightened for a secure fit before riding.

Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with pedal systems that accept two-bolt cleats. This includes many popular mountain bike and gravel cycling pedal systems. They are *not* compatible with three-bolt road cycling cleat systems.

Care: To clean the shoes, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. For the reflective elements, gentle cleaning is recommended to maintain their visibility.
