The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace clipless shoe looks great both on the race track and in the bike park. The innovative Match system optimizes engagement for any MTB clipless system, whether Crankbrothers or SPD. The shoe comes pre-assembled with a Match Shim and Crankbrothers cleat in a neutral position, allowing it to be used immediately with Crankbrothers pedals.

Match Box
The angled Match Cleat Box provides easy access to the pedals from the front and back while preventing mud from entering. An extra-stiff carbon fiber shaft efficiently transfers power when climbing or sprinting.

Match Compound
The medium-friction rubber compound (MC1) allows for easy entry and exit from the pedals and is durable enough to withstand wear. The radial cleat pattern around the cleat ensures smooth disengagement from the pedal body.

Match Outsole
The tread is designed for traction off the bike. Direction-specific angled and spaced toe and heel lugs provide grip when climbing and descending in steep terrain. The tapered toe area enhances stability on steep ground.

Closure System
The classic lacing system offers a uniform closure with round laces and a pocket for securely storing the laces.

High-Quality Materials
Crankbrothers shoes feature a synthetic upper made from high-quality 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 offers protection against impacts and abrasions.
