Ordering Questions

All
billing addresses must be in Canada. The billing address you enter must match
the address your bank has on file; we send this information to your bank for
verification, and we cannot override their response if it does not match. If
you feel you are entering your address correctly, please call the 1-800
number on the back of your card, ask for either the Fraud or Authorizations
Department and have them verify what your address is on file. If you have
more than one address on file (most common with PO Boxes and after moving to
a new home) one of those addresses will likely need to be deleted from the
bank’s system. Please use the exact address they provide for your billing
address.

Did
you have any errors while checking out? If so, the charge you are seeing is
most likely a pending charge from the failed checkout attempt and will

Us page. In your email,
please include the name on the card and the date of the attempted
transaction.

so if you throw away the gift card, you will have problems accessing the
refunded amount from your return.

Product Questions

First,
measure each foot’s length in centimeters.Base your sizing on your larger foot.You can find brand specific size conversion charts with each shoe
available here.If your foot shape is
on the wide side, consider choosing 1 size larger.If your foot is especially wide, consider
choosing up to 2 sizes larger.

Cycling
shoes are designed to keep your foot stable and to minimize power loss when
pedaling hard.
A properly fit cycling shoe has a slightly different feel than your typical
athletic shoe. It should be quite snug in the heel area without putting
excessive pressure on the instep. Your arch should be snug and feel
supported. The shoe should offer a bit of toe room and allow your toes to
wiggle slightly.
You may feel some heel slippage when walking. This is due a stiff sole. If
you feel excessive slippage, try a smaller size.
When evaluating a cycling shoe for its overall comfort make sure there are
no seams irritating your foot and that the straps do not cause pain or exert
too much pressure. You should not have large areas of gapping or folds in the
material in a well-fit cycling shoe.

Some
replacement items are available on the website.Please contact us if the item you are
looking for is not available.

No.
Unfortunately, the product warranty is only valid for the original purchaser.

A
cycling shoe’s sole is engineered to support your foot in a stable position
and distribute pressure from the pedal with little flex while pedaling.Therefore, it does not flex like most
footwear when you walk in them.

SHIMANO DYNALAST is our optimized shoe last. The toe-spring section of a cycling shoe plays a key role in supporting efficient pedaling. Too high, and it causes increased tension in the plantar, calf, and hamstring muscles. Too low, and you get a bowlegged, inefficient pedaling form. Extensive research by Shimano's R&D experts has produced a superior shoe last design with an optimized toe-spring section that promotes a smoother, more energy-efficient upstroke. You can learn more about SHIMANO’s DYNALAST technology here

SHIMANO DYNALAST features both standard and wide lasts. The standard last and wide last together provide for the needs of about 90% of riders.

For people with wider feet, a wide last provides a better fit without needing to move up a shoe size. You can learn more about the specific shoe last and sizing we offer here

SHIMANO does not use
any animal byproducts in the production of our cycling shoes.
