Can I heat mold my shoes?
Nimbl shoes are not heat moldable. Heat or thermo molding will void the product warranty.
Do you have my size in stock?
All our shoes are handmade and typically made to order. Stock fluctuates and cannot be guaranteed.
How do I care for my Nimbl shoes?
Our uppers are made from a premium microfiber material which does not stretch when wet. To clean your shoes we recommend using warm water and dish soap followed by air drying.
Can I use Speedplay cleats with 3-hole mount models?
Speedplay cleats can be mounted on standard 3-hole carbon soles with the use of the Speedplay baseplate. The baseplate hardware is a component of Speedplay cleats and is not sold by Nimbl.
Do I need to use the protection plate with Speedplay specific models?
Yes, Speedplay installation instructions specify use of the protection shim with 4-hole sole shoes.
Please follow installation instructions included with your Speedplay cleats. Damage resulting from improper installation of hardware is not covered under our Warranty. Read more in our Terms & Conditions.
Product Maintenance
How do I care for my Nimbl shoes?
Our uppers are made from a premium microfiber material which does not stretch when wet. To clean your shoes we recommend using warm water and dish soap followed by air drying.
How should I wash my cycling gear?
Wash your gear in cold water (no higher than 30°C / 86°F) on a short, delicate cycle. Set your washing machine to a low spin speed, between 600 and 800 RPM, to prevent stretching and damage.
What kind of detergent is best?
Use a mild, sport-specific liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, as they leave residues that clog the fabric's pores and destroy breathability.
Can I use fabric softener?
No. Never use fabric softeners. They leave a coating on the technical fibers that ruins moisture-wicking performance and quickly degrades the elastic.
How should I dry my cycling kit?
Air dry only. Hang your gear or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area.
Can I put my cycling clothes in the dryer?
No. Machine dryers generate heat that will shrink the technical fabrics, break down the elastic, and ruin the padding (chamois). Keep them out of the dryer entirely.

European Union orders include VAT. For non-EU destinations, orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). Any applicable import taxes, customs duties, or handling fees are the responsibility of the recipient upon delivery.
Returns & Exchanges
Can I return my order?
If for any reason you wish to make a return, you have 14 days from the date of receipt of the goods to do so. To qualify for a refund, returned item(s) must be properly wrapped in the original packaging, in new and unused condition.
Please note we have different returns procedures for EU and non-EU based customers. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. You can read more in the Returns section of our Terms and Conditions.
Can I exchange for a different size?
If you would like to exchange your product for a different size, you have 14 days from receipt of goods to make the request. Exchanges are available for alternative sizes of the same model for a fee that covers the costs of shipping.
Please follow the instructions in the Exchanges section of our Terms and Conditions.
Can I try on my shoes at home without voiding the return policy?
Yes, but you must try your shoes on indoors on clean carpet only. Do not install or mount cleats while testing fit, mounting cleats leaves permanent indentation marks on the carbon sole that invalidate the return policy.

Once your return is delivered to our Italian facility, please allow 3–5 business days for inspection. Approved refunds will be processed back to your original payment method within 5–7 business days, depending on your bank.

If one or more products within the bundle, including a free product, are not returned, we will deduct the value of each individual product, including the original price of the free product, that is not returned from your refund.
Please note we have different returns procedures for EU and non-EU based customers. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. You can read more in the Returns section of our Terms and Conditions.

I bought my Nimbl shoes from an online marketplace (e.g., eBay). Is my warranty valid?
Our 2-year warranty applies strictly to the original owner who purchased from Nimbl or an authorized retail partner. Items purchased secondhand, via unauthorized liquidators, or online marketplaces do not qualify as "first owner" purchases. We advise you to contact the original seller for any warranty concerns.
My reseller is not responding to my warranty claim. What should I do?
Nimbl cannot verify the purchase history or legitimacy of items sold through unauthorized third-party platforms. If your seller is unresponsive, we recommend opening a dispute or claim directly through the platform where you made the purchase (e.g., eBay Money Back Guarantee) or contacting your payment provider (e.g., PayPal or credit card issuer) regarding purchase protection.
How do I know if my eBay seller is an official Nimbl dealer?
If you are unsure if a retailer is an authorized Nimbl dealer, please contact us directly at support@nimbl.cc. Please note: If a reseller claims to be an official dealer, we require them to provide official verification to us. Without this verification, we are unable to process the item as a dealer-managed warranty claim.
What common actions void the Nimbl warranty?
Warranty coverage is voided by unauthorized customization (including heat-molding, as Nimbl shoes are not heat-moldable), negligence, misuse, or repairs not performed by authorized personnel. For issues regarding BOA dials or laces, please bypass the reseller and contact BOA directly for a free repair kit.
What if I have a valid receipt from an authorized dealer but the item is damaged?
If you purchased from an authorized source and have your original receipt, you may submit a claim via our Contact Page. Please include photos of the defect and your order number. If the issue is accidental damage rather than a manufacturing defect, we may offer our 35% Crash Replacement discount as a goodwill gesture.
