The Crankbrothers Mallet Trail cycling shoes are designed for trail riders and enduro enthusiasts who demand a balance between efficient power transfer and reliable hike-a-bike performance. These shoes excel in muddy, technical terrain thanks to their specialized cleat box and robust protection features, though their focus on stiffness may feel less forgiving than casual flat-pedal footwear for long periods off the bike.

Yes, they are compatible with standard 2-bolt SPD cleat systems, though they are optimized for the Crankbrothers pedal ecosystem.
While designed for trail use, their durability and stiffness make them suitable for enduro and light downhill applications.
Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
Yes, they come pre-installed with a Match shim and cleat.
Yes, the fiber-reinforced nylon shank is specifically designed to provide high-efficiency power transfer for climbing.
The lace pocket prevents your laces from catching on pedals, crank arms, or trail debris while riding.
Adjust the cleat shims to improve the interface height between the shoe sole and the pedal body.
Ensure all laces are fully tucked into the integrated lace pocket before starting your ride.
Verify that your cleat position on the 35mm track is centered for your foot shape or experiment with different cleat angles.
For optimal setup, ensure your cleats are aligned using the provided shims to match your specific pedal system, such as Mallet E, DH, Candy, or Doubleshot. The shoes arrive pre-installed with a Match shim and cleat, but additional shims should be used to dial in the interface for your preferred pedal model. To maintain the shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to preserve the breathability of the laser-cut perforations. Avoid soaking them in water; if they become saturated, remove the EVA insole and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Keep the TPU toe box free of heavy grit by inspecting it periodically for embedded debris.
