The Crankbrothers Mallet Trail cycling shoes are designed for trail riders who demand a balance between efficient power transfer and off-bike capability. These shoes are perfect for aggressive mountain biking, offering excellent mud shedding and stability, though the stiff construction may feel less forgiving than casual flat-pedal footwear during long periods of walking.

Yes, they are compatible with standard 2-bolt SPD style cleat systems, though they are optimized for the Crankbrothers Match system.
The shim adjusts the height of the cleat to ensure proper interface with the specific pedal platform to allow for smooth entry and exit.
Use the default shim for Mallet Trail or Candy pedals. Use the included grey shim for Mallet E or DH pedal models.
They are designed with breathable materials and laser-cut perforations, meaning they are not waterproof and will allow water to drain after being submerged.
Simply wash them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can damage the upper materials or force water into the sole.
Verify that you are using the correct cleat shim for your specific pedal model and check the cleat bolt tension.
Adjust the cleat position or add necessary spacers if the cleat is not making proper contact with the pedal body.
Ensure all loose lace ends are fully tucked into the designated integrated lace pockets.
Proper setup is essential for maximizing the performance of your Mallet Trail shoes. The shoes arrive with necessary cleats and shims to fine-tune your pedal interface. If you are using Mallet Trail or Candy pedals, you can typically proceed with standard cleat installation. However, if you are using Mallet E or DH pedals, you must switch the pre-installed shim for the grey option included in the box.
For care, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after muddy rides to maintain the integrity of the breathable laser-cut perforations. Ensure the laces are stored in the integrated lace pockets before riding to prevent snagging. Regularly check your cleat bolts for tightness as part of your routine bike maintenance.
