Crank Brothers Mallet Boa MTB Shoes with BOA Fit System for Mountain Biking

The Crank Brothers Mallet Boa MTB Shoes are meticulously engineered to enhance your mountain biking performance, delivering precision, durability, and comfort. Designed specifically to complement the Mallet DH pedals, these shoes feature an extended 5mm track length that enables a slammed back cleat position, significantly improving control and stability during aggressive trail riding and technical descents. Their design reflects a commitment to meeting the demands of serious riders who require reliable footwear for challenging terrain.

Constructed with advanced materials, the upper offers a balance of protection, breathability, and comfort. The integration of the BOA Fit System alongside an additional strap provides micro-adjustability, ensuring a secure and customised fit for every ride. Ventilated perforated mesh windows promote airflow to maintain foot freshness, while reinforced TPU areas protect against abrasion. Heel dots enhance grip and foot hold, contributing to the shoe’s overall durability and functional design.

Optimised for mountain biking performance, the outsole incorporates the Match Box system, compatible with all SPD cleats, and includes a pre-installed Crank Brothers match shim and cleat for straightforward setup. The race zone cleat placement offers exceptional control, while the MC1 mid-friction compound facilitates smooth pedal release. Directional toe and heel lugs provide superior traction during hiking sections, and the cushioned EVA midsole absorbs shocks, ensuring a comfortable yet responsive ride. Available in multiple sizes and half sizes, these shoes fit true to UK sizing, accommodating a wide range of riders. Explore more from Mountain Bike Shoes and elevate your riding experience.
