FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Crankbrothers Stamp Lace shoes are specifically designed for flat pedals.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
Yes, the tread pattern is designed with directional toe and heel lugs specifically for walkability on trails.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the surface; avoid harsh chemicals that might affect the rubber compound.
What is the purpose of the lace pocket?
The lace pocket prevents your laces from getting tangled in your crankset or caught on trail obstacles.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing; however, check the size chart to ensure a proper fit for your foot width.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them due to wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during riding
Ensure the knot is fully secured inside the lace pocket and the elastic retainer is pulled tight.
Excessive dirt inside the shoe
Check that the tongue is centered and pulled up high enough to close the gap between the upper and the lacing system.
Reduced grip on pedals
Clean the soles of the shoes to remove packed mud and inspect your pedal pins for wear; replace dull pins if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure your pedals have compatible pins to engage with the tread pattern of the Stamp shoe.
- Setup: Adjust the laces to your desired tension. Once snug, tuck the excess lace and the knot into the integrated lace pocket to prevent snagging.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for flat pedals, specifically those in the Crankbrothers Stamp series, but they are compatible with any high-quality flat mountain bike pedal.
- Care: After muddy rides, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Wipe down the TPU-reinforced areas with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the specialized rubber compounds and adhesive bonding.
