The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace cycling shoes are engineered for mountain bikers seeking a reliable, high-performance connection to their pedals, particularly those using the Mallet DH system. These shoes offer a perfect balance of power transfer, stability, and protection, making them ideal for aggressive trail riding and gravity-focused descents. While they excel in performance, users should note that the stiff shank design may feel less comfortable during extended periods of off-bike walking compared to casual footwear.

Yes, they are compatible with any standard SPD cleat. Simply remove the pre-installed match shim to accommodate your specific pedal system.
No, the Mallet Lace runs true to size. Order your standard UK shoe size.
The lace pocket on the tongue is designed to tuck away loose lace ends, preventing them from getting caught in your pedals or crankset.
While they are very capable, they are specifically optimized for DH and Enduro riding. They are heavier and more robust than traditional XC-specific footwear.
Keep the lugs free of debris. The MC1 compound is durable, but avoid walking on abrasive concrete surfaces for long periods to preserve the tread.
Check if the cleat is positioned too deeply in the track or if mud has packed into the Match Box. Ensure your pedal tension is set correctly.
Ensure the heel dots are clean and use a tighter lacing technique to better secure the midfoot.
Re-check the bolt torque after the first few rides, as cleats can sometimes settle into the sole interface.
These shoes are compatible with any brand of SPD-style cleat. To switch from Crankbrothers cleats to a different brand, simply remove the pre-installed match shim from the pedal box.
