Full details
The Crank Brothers Stamp Trainers are high-performance cycling shoes designed for riders who demand superior grip and a secure fit during technical trail sessions. Featuring the specialized MC2 high-friction rubber compound and a precision BOA Fit System, these shoes provide exceptional power transfer and comfort for all-day riding; however, users should note that the stiff sole design and aggressive tread are specifically optimized for flat pedal mountain biking and may feel rigid for casual walking off the bike.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes with clipless pedals?
No, the Crank Brothers Stamp Trainers are designed exclusively for flat platform pedals.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature breathable, perforated mesh for ventilation, so they are not waterproof and may let in water during heavy rain or creek crossings.
How do I replace the BOA laces?
The BOA Fit System features a replaceable lace cartridge; you can purchase official BOA replacement kits if the laces fray or snap.
Are they suitable for road cycling?
While they are comfortable, they are engineered for mountain biking and trail use; road cyclists usually prefer stiffer, lighter shoes with clipless cleat mounting points.
How do I determine if the size 10.5 fits correctly?
You should have a thumb's width of space at the toe, and your heel should remain locked in place within the internal heel dots when you flex your foot.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or jammed
Check for debris or grit caught in the dial mechanism and clear it using compressed air or a soft brush.
Reduced grip on pedals over time
Clean the rubber sole with mild soap and water to remove oils and compacted dirt, which can fill the tread pattern.
Foot numbness during long rides
Loosen the BOA dial slightly and ensure the tongue padding is centered over the bridge of your foot to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the BOA dial is fully released before inserting your foot. Once on, tighten the dial incrementally until you reach a secure but comfortable pressure across the midfoot. These shoes are specifically designed for platform pedals; using them with high-profile pins will maximize the effectiveness of the Stamp tread pattern. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines which can degrade the mesh and EVA materials. Instead, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth after rides and remove excess mud from the tread pattern to maintain peak grip. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the internal components.
