Product Information
Full details
The Crankbrothers Mallet E is designed for enduro riders and mountain bikers who demand a balance between efficient power transfer and reliable off-bike traction. These shoes feature a stiff shank for pedaling performance and a specialized outsole that excels in hike-a-bike scenarios, making them a versatile choice for long days in the saddle. While they are engineered to integrate seamlessly with Crankbrothers pedals, potential users should note that they require specific cleat adjustment upon arrival to ensure the best engagement.

FAQs
Do these shoes work with SPD pedals?
Yes, they are compatible with any brand of SPD cleat. Simply remove the grey match shim to set the correct stack height.
Should I size up for these shoes?
No, the range runs true to size based on standard UK sizing.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are designed with ventilated windows for breathability and are not intended to be waterproof.
Can I replace the cleats?
Yes, the cleats are replaceable using the standard mounting holes found in the Match Box area.
How do I clean the mesh windows?
Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently clear mud from the perforated mesh; avoid high-pressure washers.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping out of pedals
Check the cleat position and ensure the MC1 compound is clean; adjust cleat angle if necessary.
Excessive movement or 'float' while clipped in
Re-tighten the mounting bolts on the cleats or add thin shims if there is too much vertical clearance.
Laces coming loose during a ride
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly before tucking them securely into the tongue pocket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed with a USA last, meaning they run true to standard UK shoe sizing, so you can confidently purchase your usual size. For installation, the shoes come with pre-installed match shims and cleats; ensure these are tightened securely based on your preferred float preference. If using non-Crankbrothers pedals, remove the pre-installed grey shim to ensure proper cleat-to-pedal interface. To maintain the shoes, clean them with a soft brush and lukewarm water after muddy rides, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the TPU reinforcements and cushioning materials.
