The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace cycling shoes are engineered for aggressive trail riders and gravity enthusiasts who demand a perfect balance of stability and power transfer. These shoes are specifically designed to pair seamlessly with the Mallet DH pedal system, featuring an optimized cleat track that allows for a slammed back position. While they provide excellent grip and protection, riders should note that the stiff shank, while ideal for pedalling efficiency, may feel less natural during long off-bike hiking sections compared to casual mountain biking footwear.

Yes, they follow standard UK sizing and run true to size, so there is no need to size up.
Absolutely. Just remove the grey Match shim pre-installed in the cleat box to make the depth compatible with SPD cleats.
The lace pocket on the tongue allows you to tuck away excess laces, preventing them from getting caught in your drivetrain or trail obstacles.
Yes, they are specifically designed for enduro and downhill riding where stability and protection are priorities.
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes or using harsh chemicals that could damage the mesh.
Check if you are using the correct Match shim. If using non-Crankbrothers pedals, remove the grey shim to ensure proper cleat engagement height.
Double-check the torque on your cleat bolts. Ensure the washers are properly seated within the track to maintain consistent pressure.
The shoe design includes a ramped mud-clearing system, but if heavy mud is present, use a stiff brush to clear the channel before riding to ensure a clean interface.
The Mallet Lace arrives with Crankbrothers cleats and shims pre-installed, making setup straightforward if you are already using their pedal system. To use these shoes with standard SPD-style pedals, simply remove the internal grey Match shim to achieve the correct depth and clearance. When adjusting the cleats, ensure you tighten them securely within the track to prevent movement. For care, avoid using high-pressure washers, which can drive moisture into the foam; instead, use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove mud after your ride. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and materials.
