Product Information
Full details
The Crankbrothers Stamp Lace cycling shoes are designed for flat-pedal mountain bikers who prioritize superior grip, durability, and a secure fit during intense rides. By integrating a specialized MC2 high-friction outsole with a performance-focused upper, these shoes provide exceptional pedal connection and stability on technical terrain. One important caveat is that while they excel on the bike, they are primarily optimized for flat pedals and may not suit riders transitioning to clipless systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD pedals?
No, the Crankbrothers Stamp series is designed exclusively for flat-pedal use.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Stamp series runs true to size based on standard UK footwear sizing; please order your normal street shoe size.
Can I use these for other sports?
While the shoes are durable enough for walking, they are optimized for the specific foot position and stiffness required for mountain biking.
How do I keep the laces from getting caught in the drivetrain?
Always tuck your laces into the integrated lace pocket located on the tongue after tying them.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed with ventilated windows for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and will allow water to pass through during heavy rain or stream crossings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling loose at the heel
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through all eyelets and verify that the internal heel grips are clean of debris.
Poor grip on pedals
Check your pedal pins for wear. If the pins are sharp and intact, clean the MC2 rubber sole to remove any built-up mud or grease that may be hindering traction.
Difficulty putting on/taking off
Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets rather than just the top; the hidden eyelet design may require more slack for easy entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your Stamp pedals are properly maintained; clean pins offer the best interface with the shoe's outsole. When sizing, note that Crankbrothers uses a USA last, so choose your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. To clean the shoes, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove dried mud from the perforated mesh. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as this can force debris into the mesh and potentially degrade the structural integrity of the upper. Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue delamination.
