Mallet Lace Shoes
The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace clipless shoe performs equally well on the race track and in the bike park. The innovative Match system optimizes engagement for any MTB clipless pedal system, whether Crankbrothers or SPD. The shoe comes pre-installed with a Match shim and Crankbrothers cleat in a neutral position, so it's ready to ride with Crankbrothers pedals right away.
Match BoxThe beveled Match cleat box allows easy access to the front and rear pedals and prevents mud from entering. An extra-stiff carbon fiber shank efficiently transfers power when climbing or sprinting.
Match CompoundThe medium friction (MC1) rubber compound allows for easy clipping in and out of the pedals and is tough enough to withstand wear and tear. The radial cleat pattern around the cleat ensures smooth release of the pedal body. Match Outsole: The tread pattern is designed for off-road traction. Directionally angled and spaced toe and heel lugs provide traction when climbing and descending steep terrain. The beveled toe provides secure footing on steep terrain. Closure System: The classic lacing system offers a smooth closure with round laces and a pocket for secure lace storage. Premium Materials: Crankbrothers shoes have a synthetic upper made with premium materials for breathability, protection, and comfort. Perforated materials and mesh windows provide ventilation to keep feet cool in hot weather and dry quickly in wet conditions. Reinforced TPU in the toe area provides protection against rock strikes and impacts.
