The uppers of the shoe are made of premium leather. To help protect the shoes from water damage, we recommend using a water-repellent spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to water.

To take care for and maintain your shoes , you can follow these steps:

  • Clean the leather surface regularly with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and grime.
  • Avoid getting the leather wet and let it dry naturally if it does get wet.
  • Use a waterproofing spray or wax to protect the leather from water damage.
  • Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.
  • If your shoes get dirty, use a mild leather cleaner.

The shoes are suitable for both men and women. We will be extending size options with subsequent launches.

The CHPT3 Transit shoes feature an upper made of premium natural leather. While leather does have a degree of natural water resistance, it is not waterproof. Therefore, it is important to take note that prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain may cause damage to the shoes. However, in case of light rain or small amounts of water, the shoes can handle it well. To help protect the shoes from water damage, we recommend using a water-repellent spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to water.

The CHPT3 Transit shoe is designed to wear all day on and off the bike. Wear it on the road, to the office, the café, the club – you can ride, walk, jump, and dance everywhere. Flat pedal and SPD compatible. A flexible sole, sneaker comfort, and a high traction outsole to use as a third brake.

No, the CHPT3 Transit shoes come with a built-in cleat plate for mounting SPD or other 2-bolt cleats. You will need to buy cleats that suit your chosen pedals.

The shoe uses a 2-hole cleat mounting plate. It has been fully tested with all Shimano and Crank Brothers pedal systems, but should also work with other 2-hole pedals such as Look and Time.

The CHPT3 Transit shoes are designed by James Carnes, former global creative director at Adidas. James used his +20 years of experience of designing athletic shoes and sports inspired sneakers to rethink urban cycling shoes. The CHPT3 Transit shoes are designed and produced by his athletic footwear brand Priority Athletic as a collaboration with CHPT3. James is also a co-owner of CHPT3.
