The Crankbrothers Mallet E clip-in shoes are a top choice for enduro races and all-day adventures. These shoes feature a carbon-injected nylon shank, which provides excellent pedaling efficiency while maintaining a great shoe-to-pedal interface. Our innovative Match System is designed to optimize engagement with any MTB clip-in system, whether it's Crankbrothers or SPD. The shoes come with a pre-installed Match shim and Crankbrothers cleat in a neutral position, so you can start riding right out of the box. Ideal for enduro and trail riding, the Mallet E shoes offer many great features. The Match Box is optimized for any MTB pedal, including SPD. The Match Compound uses an MC1 mid-friction compound for easy pedal exit. And they're ready to ride with pre-installed Crankbrothers shim and cleat. The classic lace closure system uses round laces for a smooth closure and has a pocket to safely tuck the laces. These unisex shoes fit true to size. For wider feet, we recommend going up a half size. The size selector above is US Mens. Each shoe weighs 430g (US 9 / EU 42). The ramped Match cleat box allows for easy front and rear pedal entry and helps shed mud. The stiff carbon-injected nylon shank transfers power efficiently when climbing or sprinting. The mid-friction rubber compound (MC1) makes pedal entry and exit easy and is durable. The radial lug pattern around the cleat box ensures a smooth release from the pedal body. The tread pattern provides traction off the bike. The directionally angled and spaced toe and heel lugs offer traction on steep terrain, and the ramped toe makes walking on steep slopes easier. The upper part of the shoes has many features for breathability, protection, and comfort, such as a closure system, hidden eyelets, a lace pocket, a perforated toe, mesh windows, a perforated tongue, a reinforced toe, a padded tongue, and heel dots.
Using these Crankbrothers Mallet E shoes is easy. First, make sure the pre - installed Match shim and Crankbrothers cleat are in the right position. If you're using a different pedal system, you may need to adjust the cleats accordingly. Put on the shoes using the classic lace closure system. Tuck the laces into the pocket to avoid any interference. When it comes to riding, the Match System will help you engage with the pedals smoothly, whether you're using Crankbrothers or SPD pedals. When you're off the bike, the tread pattern on the outsole gives you good traction on various terrains. As for maintenance, after each ride, clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Let them dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Check the cleats regularly for wear and tear, and replace them if needed. If you have wider feet, remember to go up a half - size as recommended. Also, measure your feet correctly using the guide provided to ensure the best fit.
