Mallet and Lace - Black/Blue The Crankbrothers Mallet E clip-in shoe excels for enduro races or full-day adventures. Equipped with a carbon-injected nylon stem, the Mallet E shoe offers pedaling efficiency without compromising the shoe-to-pedal interface. Our innovative Match System optimizes the attachment for any MTB clip-in system, whether it is Crankbrothers or SPD. It comes with the Match thickness and cleat Crankbrothers pre-installed in the neutral position so that they are ready for use with the Crankbrothers pedals just taken out of the box. Locking system The classic lace closure system offers a smooth closure with round laces and a pocket to thread the laces safely. Matchbox The Match cleat box with ramp provides easy front and rear pedal entry and mud elimination. An extra rigid carbon-injected nylon shank transfers power efficiently when climbing or sprinting. Compound match Our medium friction rubber compound (MC1) allows easy entry and exit from the pedal and is hard enough to withstand wear. The design of the radial fins around the cleat is designed to provide a smooth release from the pedal body. Matching sole The tread pattern is designed for traction off the bike. Directional and spaced toe and heel lugs provide traction for hiking up or down steep terrain. The ramp tip offers walkability on steep terrain.
