Yes, the standard two-bolt pattern is compatible with most mountain bike pedal systems, including SPD.
While designed for trail use, they function well for gravel riding, especially if you anticipate having to walk sections of your route.
The lace-up closure allows for a customizable, secure fit across the entire top of the foot.
The shoes are not waterproof; they feature laser-cut perforations for breathability, meaning they will get wet in heavy rain.
The Trail series is generally lighter and optimized for a mix of riding and hiking compared to the more gravity-focused standard Mallet line.
Adjust the cleat position using the shims provided or ensure there is no debris trapped in the cleat channel.
Check your cleat position to ensure it is centered correctly under the ball of your foot for optimal power distribution.
For setup, the shoes arrive with pre-installed cleats and shims; use these shims to adjust the height of your cleat for optimal engagement with your specific pedal system. Ensure that the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications. For compatibility, they work seamlessly with the Crankbrothers pedal ecosystem but are generally compatible with most two-bolt mountain bike pedal systems. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to keep the breathability perforations clear. Avoid drying them in direct sunlight or using a heater, as this can degrade the materials. If they become heavily soiled, use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the lugs and lace eyelets.
