With the launch of new Crankbrothers line of shoes, we've been seeing a fantastic reception in the market! Here's what the media have been saying about them!

Winner! - Crankbrothers Mallet E BOA wins Design Innovation Awards 2021 - DIA
"Crankbrothers have gone one step further while developing their first clipless shoe, taking a close look not just at the shoe, but its interplay with associated components. The result is the well-considered Mallet E Boa shoe, which shines with its excellent compatibility and features. It can be adjusted using the Match system to be compatible with Crankbrothers’ own Mallet cleats as well as SPD pedals. In addition, the stiffened sole allows for efficient power transfer while the curve of the toe eases clipping in and makes for a more natural gait when walking. The stable toe box provides extra protection on every ride and integrates discreetly into the clean, high-end design of the shoe. Thanks to the practical BOA closure, the shoes fit snugly without any pressure points, rounding off the package nicely."

Tested: Crankbrothers Stamp and Mallet E Shoes - Beta MTB
"I’m really happy with the fit and performance of the Mallet system—smart, functional design that merges fit and performance in a beautifully unassuming package. But what really wowed me with the Match lineup was the Stamp flat-pedal shoe. I can’t help but feel like these shoes were conceived right out of my mental wish list. They deliver all the features I’ve been looking for in a flat shoe: an incredibly precise and secure fit with phenomenal grip on the sole. Add to that, at the risk of adopting Crankbrothers’ own marketing jargon, a perfect match with the Stamp pedal, and it really is among the best-in-class of flat shoes I’ve ridden."

First Ride: Crankbrothers Mallet Shoe - MTB Mag
"My take here is that crankbrothers have really started out with a bang. With some minor exceptions, FiveTen and Specialized seem to have had this segment of the market pretty well cinched up,  but that may no longer be the case... Perhaps what I like most of all is that crankbrothers managed to bring in some unique features like the heel gripper, their excellent lacing system and a sneaky lace capture. To put it bluntly, I won’t be taking the Mallets off any time soon."
