Using the Trek Foray mountain bike shoes is easy. First, adjust the BOA fit system to get a comfortable and snug fit. This will help you pedal more efficiently. When riding, the Tachyon outsole will give you great traction on various off - road terrains. As for maintenance, after each ride, wipe off any dirt or mud on the shoes. You can use a mild soap and water solution for a deeper clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the GnarGuard coating. Store the shoes in a dry and cool place. Also, make sure to check the BOA fit system regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's best to have it checked by a professional.
