The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace Cycling Shoes are designed for mountain bikers and gravity riders who prioritize a secure, customizable connection to their pedals without the complexity of ratcheting systems. These shoes offer excellent breathability and a locked-in heel fit, making them ideal for long days on the trail. However, users should note that the lace-up system requires a bit more manual adjustment before and after rides compared to BOA-dial alternatives.

No, the Mallet Lace is specifically designed for clipless pedal systems featuring the Match Box interface.
They feature breathable mesh windows, so they are not waterproof; however, they do dry relatively quickly compared to leather shoes.
No, the shoes come with Crankbrothers match cleats and shims pre-installed.
Tuck the remaining loops and ends of the laces into the pocket located on the top of the tongue.
While technically compatible with MTB SPD cleats, the shoe is engineered for mountain biking terrain and may feel too heavy or stiff for road-specific cycling.
Check the cleat position and ensure the Match Shim is configured correctly for your specific pedal body.
Ensure your laces are tightened securely across the mid-foot and check that your socks are not overly slick or loose.
Verify that the cleat bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications and that the Match Shim is properly seated.
To set up your shoes, ensure the pre-installed cleat is positioned correctly for your riding style. If you use a non-Crankbrothers pedal, you may need to remove the included shim to achieve the correct depth. Always double-check your cleat bolts after the first few rides to ensure they remain tight.
For care, remove excess mud after every ride using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture slowly. Avoid using direct heat sources like hair dryers or heaters, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the adhesive in the sole.
