Using your Recon 2.0 mountain bike shoes is a breeze. First, use the Li2 BOA Dial to adjust the tightness of the shoe quickly. The forefoot strap above the toes can be adjusted to fit your unique foot shape. When you're on the bike, the stiff cleat pocket and efficient design will help you pedal with power. When you need to walk, the flexible outsole and upper around the toe box allow for easy movement. As for maintenance, after each ride, clean the shoes with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. Let them dry naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the materials. Check the BOA Dial and laces regularly to ensure they're working properly. With proper care, your Recon 2.0 shoes will serve you well on many adventures.
