The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace cycling shoes are designed for adult mountain bikers seeking a reliable, clip-in performance shoe that balances trail-ready protection with everyday comfort. These shoes feature the innovative Match Box system for seamless pedal integration and a secure lace-up closure with a convenient lace pocket. While they provide excellent ventilation and power transfer, they are primarily performance-focused, meaning riders may find them stiffer than casual flat-soled sneakers when walking long distances.

Yes, the Match Box is designed to be compatible with any brand of MTB pedal that uses an SPD-style cleat.
Simply tuck the loops and ends of your tied laces into the dedicated pocket located at the top of the tongue.
No, they prioritize breathability with perforated mesh, so they are not waterproof.
The Mallet Lace shoes come with pre-installed match shims and are ready for cleat installation.
While technically compatible with SPD pedals, these are designed for mountain biking and offer a much stiffer profile and different tread pattern than dedicated road shoes.
Check if the match shim needs to be adjusted or removed for your specific pedal model.
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the tongue and that the heel area is clear of debris.
Remove the insoles after every ride to allow the shoe to dry completely and avoid storing in a sealed bag.
To set up your Mallet Lace shoes, start by determining if you need the included match shim for your pedal brand. If you are using SPD-style cleats, you can simply remove the pre-installed shim to seat the cleat directly into the Match Box. Once the cleat is positioned, tighten it securely according to your preferred float setting.
For ongoing care, avoid machine washing these shoes. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after muddy rides. If they become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive.
