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 platform. These shoes excel by offering a stiff power-transfer shank and a deep-track cleat system for superior control on aggressive terrain, though riders primarily focused on weight savings for cross-country racing may find the heavy-duty construction slightly robust for their specific needs.

Yes, they are compatible with any brand of SPD cleat. Simply remove the pre-installed grey match shim to mount your specific cleats.
No, the shoes run true to size based on standard UK sizing. You should purchase your normal shoe size.
The lace pocket serves a dual purpose: it stores the round laces to prevent them from catching on your chainring or crank arm, and it creates a clean, snag-free look.
Yes, the outsole features a ramped toe and directional lugs specifically designed for traction during off-bike hiking.
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Verify that your cleat bolts are tightened and check the pedal tension spring; if the shoe feels too 'sticky,' ensure the match shim is seated correctly.
Check that the cleat mounting bolts are fully torqued to manufacturer specifications and ensure the shim is not loose.
Setting up the Mallet Lace is simple thanks to the pre-installed match shim and cleat. To use with non-Crankbrothers pedals, simply remove the grey match shim to mount your preferred SPD-style cleats directly into the track. For the best fit, these shoes are built on a US-last, so UK customers should purchase their standard UK shoe size, as the range runs true to size. To maintain the shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to clear the ventilated windows and ensure the lace pocket remains free of debris. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
