The all new Crank Candy Lace shoe ($159.99) is designed for off-road cyclists, featuring a stiff, fiber-reinforced nylon shank for optimal power transfer.

Last week, we posted about the new Crankbrothers Stamp Flat and Mallet Clipless Trail Boa shoes and this week, the pedal and shoe manufacturer announced the all new Stamp Flat ($149.99) and Mallet Clipless ($169.99) shoes in a lace-up configuration. These shoes, like their Boa siblings, feature a reworked, moderately flexible mid-sole, a new, versatile Match tread pattern, and our high-friction MC2 rubber compound combine to provide optimal grip on and off the bike. Both shoes are set to ship March 15th from your local Crankbrothers dealers.

Crankbrothers’ new Stamp trail shoes for flat pedals ($199.99) and Mallet trail shoes for clipless pedals ($219.99) landed today with a BOA® closure, mid-length rip-stop upper, TPU-reinforced toe box for enhanced protection and a flexible collar around the ankle to prevent debris from entering the shoe. In addition, a moderately flexible midsole, a new, versatile Match tread pattern, and our high-friction MC2 rubber compound combine to provide optimal grip on and off the bike.

Travis Engel found just five of them, from ENVE, Crankbrothers, PRO, Easton/Fox, and Wolf Tooth. It turns out they’re all very special in their own little ways.
