Crankbrothers Candy Lace

Whether logging gravel miles, bike-packing across continents, or embarking on singletrack missions deep into the hills, The Candy Lace is the perfect companion for those long, adventurous rides.

The Candy Lace shoe is designed for off-road cyclists, featuring a stiff, fibre-reinforced nylon shank for optimal power transfer on every pedal stroke.

Its full rubber outsole, with strategically spaced toe and heel lugs, offers reliable off-bike traction for wherever your adventure leads. Made with our durable MC1 Match compound, this shoe is built to withstand seasons of use.

With an extended 35mm cleat track, the Candy Lace accommodates a wide range of cleat positioning to suit evolving preferences. Its relaxed fit, combined with an EVA insole for vibration absorption, ensures long-lasting comfort for a smooth and enjoyable ride, no matter the distance.

The Candy Lace is engineered to take you further.

PREMIUM MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION

The Candy Lace's premium synthetic upper is constructed from durable, water-resistant materials, with perforations for enhanced breathability. A traditional lace closure system complete with lace retention loop keeps your foot comfortably secure. 

OPTIMIZED PEDAL INTERFACE

A stiff, fibre-reinforced nylon shank transfers power efficiently, while an extended 35mm-length cleat track allows for personalized cleat position. The cleat box depth is carefully chosen to allow for optimal shoe-to-pedal contact.

ADVENTURE-READY OUTSOLE

Full-coverage MC1 rubber outsole and directionally-angled toe and heel lugs offer traction for any terrain. A ramped toe and curved outsole profile allow for a natural stride off the bike. The mid-foot anti-slip zone offers stability while unclipped.

TOE PROTECTION

A TPU-reinforced toe box combined with a raised outsole at the front of the shoe provide critical protection against impacts.
