FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?

No, the Crankbrothers Stamp Speed Lace shoes are designed specifically for flat pedal systems and are not compatible with clipless pedal mechanisms.

How do I clean the MC2 rubber sole?

The MC2 rubber can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain its grip properties.

What is the main advantage of the Speed Lace system?

The Speed Lace system offers a quick and easy way to adjust the fit and tension of the shoes, allowing for fine-tuning throughout your ride.

Can I use these shoes for road cycling?

While they offer good comfort and durability, their design, particularly the tread pattern and rubber compound, is optimized for mountain biking and flat pedals. They are not ideal for road cycling.

How durable is the tread pattern for hiking?

The tread pattern is designed with directionally angled and spaced lugs specifically for traction during hiking on steep or loose terrain, offering good durability for off-bike use.

What causes vibrations on the trail, and how do these shoes help?

Vibrations are caused by impacts from rough terrain. The low rebound properties of the MC2 rubber compound help to absorb and dampen these vibrations, providing a smoother feel.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on pedals

Ensure pedal pins are clean and in good condition. Check the MC2 rubber compound on the sole for excessive wear and consider sole replacement if needed.

Feet feel loose on pedals

Adjust lace tension for a tighter fit. Ensure the shoes are the correct size for your feet.

Discomfort during hike-a-bike sections

Ensure laces are evenly tightened. The ramped toe and lug design are optimized for walking; if discomfort persists, check for any specific pressure points caused by your foot shape.

Shoes remain wet after cleaning

Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using dryers or direct heat, as this can damage the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Crankbrothers Stamp Speed Lace shoes utilize a traditional lace-up system for a customizable fit. Ensure laces are securely tied but not so tight that they restrict circulation. The Speed Lace system offers a quick and easy way to adjust tension.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for use with flat mountain bike pedals. They are not compatible with clipless pedal systems.

Care: To clean your shoes, remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
