FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Crankbrothers Stamp Lace series is specifically designed for flat pedals.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, the tread pattern includes angled lugs that offer excellent traction for hiking up or down steep, technical terrain.
What is the purpose of the lace pocket?
The lace pocket prevents your laces from dangling or catching on the bike's drivetrain while riding.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. Ensure the heel is held firmly in place by the internal grip dots when the shoes are laced tight.
Does the MC2 rubber wear out quickly?
The MC2 compound is formulated to balance high-friction grip with durability, though frequent use on aggressive pedal pins will naturally cause gradual wear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for breathability and trail durability. They are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during rides
Ensure the laces are firmly tucked into the lace pocket and double-knot the laces before tucking them in for extra security.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing tension at the mid-foot to lock the heel into the heel pocket, utilizing the built-in grip dots.
Difficulty cleaning dried mud
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a stiff-bristled brush to knock it off the outsole tread before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the bridge of your foot before tucking them securely into the provided lace pocket to prevent snagging on your crank arms or chainring. These shoes are designed specifically for flat pedals; they are not compatible with clipless pedal systems. To maintain your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy rides. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the rubber compound. If the shoes become soaked inside, remove the insoles and air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping.
