The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace cycling shoes are engineered for aggressive trail and downhill mountain bikers who prioritize stability and control. Featuring a specialized MC1 mid-friction compound and an optimized cleat track, these shoes offer exceptional power transfer and a reliable clip-in/clip-out experience. While the secure lace-up closure provides a classic, adjustable fit, it may take more time to fasten compared to BOA-dial or velcro-strap alternatives.

Yes, they are compatible with all standard 2-bolt SPD cleats. You will need to remove the included grey match shim to mount non-Crankbrothers cleats.
Yes, the range is true to size based on a standard USA last. It is recommended to select your normal UK shoe size.
While they are optimized for downhill and trail riding, they are functional for XC, though they are heavier and stiffer than dedicated XC footwear.
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and foam components.
The match shim is designed to optimize the interface between the shoe and Crankbrothers pedals to ensure consistent clip-in performance.
The shoes feature robust round laces intended for cycling, designed to work securely with the lace pocket.
Check the cleat position and ensure the match shim is installed correctly. If using non-Crankbrothers cleats, confirm the shim has been removed.
Tighten the laces more firmly and ensure the heel is properly positioned against the back of the shoe to engage the grip dots.
The Mallet Lace is shipped with a Crankbrothers match shim and cleat pre-installed. To set them up, ensure your cleat position aligns with your arch and biomechanical needs. If you prefer to use a different brand of SPD-compatible cleat, simply remove the grey match shim from the shoe interface. Maintenance is straightforward: brush off excess mud after your ride and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior mesh and TPU zones. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the materials and the adhesive bonds.
