Look at their website, and use the ones they specify.

Check the warranty Warranty policy - FFWD

and the pads you need https://ffwdusa.com/product/parts/swissstop-brake-pads/

I like Reynolds pads. I just switch them in when I change wheelsets. Some think it's a huge deal, but it's a 2-minute job. Pro tip: keep the hex wrench for the brake shoe fixing bolt in the bag with the pads.
