Product Information
Full details
The Crankbrothers Stamp Lace Cycling Shoes are designed for mountain bikers and trail riders seeking a secure, flat-pedal experience with optimized grip. These shoes excel in providing a stable connection to the pedal through the proprietary MC2 rubber compound and a tread pattern tailored to absorb pedal pins. While they offer exceptional comfort and traction for off-bike scrambling, users should note that as flat-pedal trainers, they do not offer the mechanical cleat retention found in clipless systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, these are flat-pedal specific shoes and do not feature mounting points for cleats.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the glue and structural integrity of the shoe; hand washing is preferred.
What is the purpose of the lace pocket?
The lace pocket prevents your laces from dangling and potentially catching on your chainring or crank arm while riding.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find them to be true to standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size conversion chart provided.
How often should I clean the tread?
Clean the tread whenever you notice a buildup of dried mud, as packed dirt prevents the pedal pins from engaging with the rubber lugs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling disconnected from the pedal
Check if your pedal pins are loose or rounded. Replace damaged pins to allow them to sit deeper into the shoe's rubber lugs.
Excessive movement within the shoe
Ensure the heel dots are clean and your socks are not overly slick. Tighten the laces more securely, ensuring they are tensioned from the bottom eyelets upward.
Slow drying after wet rides
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper to absorb internal moisture overnight in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your flat pedals have properly maintained pins; worn-down pins may not engage effectively with the shoe's lug depth. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtightened to maintain circulation, and always tuck them into the designated lace pocket before starting your ride to avoid interference with the crank arms.
For cleaning, remove excess mud after rides with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using high-pressure sprayers, as this can force debris into the mesh and degrade the adhesive bonding. Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as heaters or fireplaces, to preserve the integrity of the rubber compound and upper materials.
