Product-related questions

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY SUPLEST SHOES?

The upper material of your shoes should never be put into water or in a washing machine – use a damp sponge in order to clean the shoes.

After a rainy ride your shoes get wet. Usually, it helps if you take your insoles out of the shoes and let them dry separately. We recommend you to stuff you shoes with some newspaper, which helps them absorb moisture and maintain in shape. Never dry them in the sun, neither at a heater.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SIZE I NEED?

If you're unsure which size of suplest shoes, simply use our Size Finder on our website.

WHERE DO I FIND THE PEDAL CLEATS?

We don’t supply the cleats with the shoes. You will receive the cleats, once you purchase pedals, which then have to get mounted to the shoes.

HOW DO I MOUNT THE CLEATS TO THE SHOES?

If you mount the cleats to your shoes, be aware that you will not have to use all the muscle power you have. We recommend that you use a torque wrench. For most pedal brands we recommend that the torque fitting should be between 5-8Nm for the cleats.

HOW LONG DOES THE WARRANTY ON YOUR PRODUCTS LAST?

We grant warranty on shoes only. suplest cycling shoes are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and /or workmanship for a period of two years from date of purchase. Proof of purchase in the form of a receipt from point of purchase is required to accompany all warranty claims.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OUTSOLES? ROAD, CROSSCOUNTRY AND OFFROAD?

  • For Road and Crosscountry
  • Pro has a full carbon outsole
  • Performance has a carbon sole with fiberglass reinforcement
  • Sport is an injected sole with fiberglass reinforcement
  • For all Offroad shoes, with a shank we use a injected sole.

DO THE SHOES HAVE A STIFFNESS INDEX?

No, we don’t have a stiffness index, as there is no common standard and each company uses an own index. Therefore we don’t believe makes sense as this can’t be compared. But trust us, we are amongst the stiffest outsoles in the industry. The has been proven by independent test labs.

CAN I REPLACE MY HEEL STUDS?

The Pro and Performance level shoes have a rubber heel stud, which is not replacable. Whereas our Sport shoe has a heel stud, which can be replaced.

WHEN SHALL I USE THE TWO MTB STUDS FOR MY CROSSCOUNTRY SHOES?

We suggest that you only use the studs, when the ground is very misty and the terrain is wet and the turf is deep. Otherwise you should not use the studs, as they make walking on hard surfaces more difficult.
