Product Information
Full details
The Crank Brothers Stamp Lace Flat MTB Shoes are designed for mountain bikers seeking a balance of high-friction grip and all-day comfort. Featuring the specialized MC2 compound, these shoes provide exceptional pedal connection and durability, making them an ideal choice for trail riders. While they offer superior walkability and protection, riders should note that the lace-up closure requires manual adjustment, lacking the quick-cinch convenience found on some higher-end speedlace models.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Stamp Lace Flat shoes are designed specifically for flat mountain bike pedals and do not feature mounting points for cleats.
Can I use these for casual riding or commuting?
Yes, their comfortable EVA midsole and walkability make them suitable for casual riding, commuting, or even off-bike use.
How do I determine if the fit is correct?
The shoe should feel snug across the midfoot without restricting circulation, with enough room in the toe box for natural foot movement.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not waterproof; the ventilated windows are designed for breathability, which allows water to penetrate during heavy rain or creek crossings.
How often should I clean the shoes?
It is best practice to brush off dried mud after every ride to keep the tread pattern effective and to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh.
Why is there a lace pocket?
The lace pocket is a safety feature that keeps your laces tucked away, preventing them from getting tangled in the drivetrain or trail debris.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on pedals
Check the outsole for mud buildup and ensure your pedal pins are clean; if pins are worn, replace them to restore grip.
Laces coming loose during rides
Use a double knot and ensure the lace ends are fully tucked into the integrated lace pocket to prevent snagging and loosening.
Difficulty cleaning debris from mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush while the mud is dry; for stubborn grit, rinse with light water pressure and let air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure your pedals have sufficient pin length to engage with the outsole's tread pattern. To maintain your Stamp Lace shoes, remove excess mud after each ride using a soft brush and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure washers, as these can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the perforated mesh. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Before heading out, ensure the laces are tightened evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot and tuck the excess lace loops securely into the lace pocket.
