The Crankbrothers Mallet E clip-in shoe excels for enduro races or all-day adventures. Our innovative Match System optimizes engagement for any MTB clip-in system whether that’s Crankbrothers or SPD. It comes with Match shim and Crankbrothers cleat pre-installed in a neutral position so they are ready to ride with Crankbrothers pedals right out of the box. Match Box The ramped Match cleat box offers easy front and rear pedal entry and mud shedding. An extra stiff shank gives it rigidity for power transfer when climbing. Match Compound Our mid-friction rubber compound (MC1) allows for easy pedal entry and exit and is hard enough to hold up to wear and tear. The radial lug pattern around the cleat box is designed to provide smooth release from the pedal body. Match Outsole The tread pattern is designed for traction off the bike. Directionally angled and spaced toe and heel lugs offer traction for hiking up or down steep terrain. The ramped toe provides walkability on steep terrain.

This is my attempt to switch to wearing and riding Shimano SPD pedals and shoes. I was BLOWN away with the fit, comfort and convenience of the BOA system. I got a crankbrothers Mallet E pedals thats why i decided to get this shoe and im so glad i did!

I've had the Mallet shoe from Crankbrothers and this "E" (Enduro) version seems to be an improvement regarding sole reinforcement and shape (I hope this time the sole doesn't end up separating from the shoe).So far, so good.But the sizing is still too off; as previously I had to get one full size a bigger shoe (I'm a 10 and bought a 11) and this time I did the same and it even feels a bit tighter (so perhaps 1.5 sizes smaller than stated?).

Excellent fit and no heel lift while pedalling. Easy to walk in off the bike. Cannot fault them.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and feel weightless. Not too wide to rub the chainstay more than necessary. Highly recommended.
I still have not received my shoes. I replied to the delivery notification email that they still have not been delivered but have not received a response.
First time buying Crank Bros shoes, but highly recommended by both my husband and son. Bought khaki colour in size 40. Normally am 39/39.5 but fit is fine, quite snug, considering I have narrow feet. Really nice lacing, Velcro system and super comfy to ride. Love them!
Super stable and comfortable! Fits great with HT pedals.
I had to return these because they are a poor fit, far too narrow and designed for a flat foot and ankles are very exposed. I assumed from the pictures that these would be very similar in shape to the 510 freeriders but with a cleat, they are a bit different than that and do have the typical bulge under the ball of foot area similar to most other shoes with cleats, meaning they're really not that walkable either. I'd say the footbed is similar to other shoes I've tried, rather flat and not conforming to the shape of my foot. The best shoes with cleats so far have always been from Specialized, my favorite flats are 510 freeriders from a few years ago. I returned these and never tried clipping in with them, just wore them in the house a few times.
Great shoe. Clips in very easily. Secure.I bought them to replace some aging Keen bike shoes that were also good for destination walking. These are better on the bike, a bit less good for the destination. For general cycling and short walking around they've become my go-to shoe (only wish I'd bought a more subtle color; those blue laces really pop!)I have a feeling with some adjustment they'll fit the bill.
