Using these Shimano GR501 flat pedal cycling shoes is easy. Just put them on like regular shoes and you're ready to hit the road or trail. When riding, the great grip on the pedal pins will help you control the bike better. Off the bike, the traction on the outsole will keep you steady. As for maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild soap to keep the upper and outsole in good condition. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or harsh chemicals. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. Make sure to choose the right size from the EU 33 - 48 range for a comfortable fit.
