Full details
The Crankbrothers Stamp Lace shoes are designed for flat-pedal mountain bike riders who prioritize pedal connectivity, durability, and hiking traction. Featuring the proprietary MC2 high-friction rubber compound and a specialized tread pattern, these shoes provide exceptional grip on the trail and stability during hike-a-bike sections, though they are specifically optimized for flat pedals and may not suit riders who prefer clipless systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Stamp Lace series is specifically designed for use with flat pedals only.
How should I clean the shoes?
Use a soft brush and water. Do not submerge them in a washing machine or use strong detergents.
Do I need to size up for these shoes?
The Stamp Lace range generally runs true to size based on standard UK sizing; ordering your normal shoe size is recommended.
What is the purpose of the internal heel dots?
The heel dots are designed to provide extra grip to your sock, which helps keep your heel in place for a more secure fit.
Can I use these for general hiking?
While the tread is designed for hike-a-bike traction, they are optimized for mountain biking and may not provide the same support as dedicated hiking footwear for long-distance treks.
Why is there a pocket on the tongue?
The lace pocket is a safety feature intended to tuck away loose laces so they do not snag on the bike's chainring or crank arm while riding.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during rides
Ensure that the laces are tied with a standard double knot before tucking the excess length into the integrated lace pocket.
Reduced grip on pedals
Clean the soles to remove compacted dirt or mud that may be preventing the pedal pins from engaging with the rubber.
Foot discomfort on long rides
Check that the lace tension is even across the top of the foot and ensure the tongue is centered properly to prevent pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, note that these shoes are built on a USA-based last; select your size based on your standard UK footwear size, as they are designed to run true to size. To maintain your shoes, brush off dried mud after each ride. If they become heavily soiled, clean them with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure washers, as these can degrade the rubber compound and adhesive bonds. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
