Crank Brothers Candy Lace

Description

The Crank Brothers Candy Lace Shoes are purpose-built for riders seeking the perfect blend of clipless efficiency, trail-ready durability, and everyday comfort. Inspired by the versatility of the iconic Candy pedal system, these shoes are designed to perform across trail, gravel, and adventure rides with confident pedal engagement and all-day support.

Featuring Crank Brothers’ Match System optimization, the Candy Lace Shoes are engineered for seamless compatibility with clipless pedal systems. The extended cleat track allows for precise cleat positioning, while the low-friction ramp design makes clipping in and out smooth and predictable in changing trail conditions. A stiff yet walkable midsole delivers efficient power transfer without sacrificing off-bike comfort during hike-a-bike sections or trail stops.

The outsole uses a high-grip rubber compound with an aggressive tread pattern for excellent traction on loose terrain, wet surfaces, and rocky trails. A traditional lace closure provides a secure, customizable fit, while a hook-and-loop retention strap helps keep laces tucked away and stable during aggressive riding. Reinforced toe and heel zones increase protection and durability against impacts and abrasion.

Breathable materials and strategically placed ventilation panels help regulate temperature on long rides, while the supportive construction keeps feet comfortable through demanding climbs, technical descents, and mixed-terrain adventures.

Whether you’re riding singletrack, tackling gravel epics, or exploring backcountry routes, the Crank Brothers Candy Lace Shoes offer reliable clipless performance with the comfort and versatility needed for every ride.
