Caring for Your Cycling
Shoes ~
Suggestions from Sidi of Italy:
 | Always grease cleat bolt and spike threads. Follow the enclosed mounting
instructions. Make certain there is contact with all of the threads in
the receptacle. If the screws do not make contact
with all of the threads, failure of the receptacle
may occur. |
| After a few rides and/or cleat adjustments, remove the cleat screws one
at a time, re-grease them and tighten snugly. Do not over-tighten. |
| Check the tension on cleat screws every two or three rides to assure
proper tightness. |
| Abrasions do occur. Check the stitching and repair as necessary. Use of a
stitch protecting formula such as “Shoe-Goo” is highly recommended for
MTB shoes. |
| For extra cleaning power, use saddle soap or a generic leather or vinyl
cleaner to clean and protect the uppers. Otherwise, a damp cloth will
typically suffice. |
| If your shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff shoes with fresh
newspaper repeatedly until dry. DO NOT expose cycling shoes to direct
or excessive heat! |
| Some shoes have mechanical closures. These closures and buckles are a
moving part and require lubrication for optimal performance. Regularly
drip a high quality lubricant onto the pivot points.
Without regular lubrication, some pins may work out
and general device performance will be restricted. |
