How to use
To use the NORTHWAVE Striker cycling shoes, first ensure that your cleats are correctly installed and aligned according to your pedal system requirements. Loosen the closure mechanism fully before sliding your foot into the shoe.

After your ride, loosen the closure to remove the shoes easily and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
