Engineered to take you further.

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 features a stiff, fiber-reinforced nylon shank for efficient power transfer, paired with a minimalist synthetic upper, vibration-absorbing EVA insole, and a relaxed fit to provide a comfortable, ride-all-day feel.

Our innovative Match System optimizes engagement for Crankbrothers clip-in pedals, while the extended 35mm cleat track retains compatibility with other common clip-in pedals. Cleats are not included with Candy Lace shoes - remember to add a fresh set for your clip-in system of choice!

Unisex Fit - Fits true to size. For wider feet, we recommend going up a half size.
For Mallet Trail, Candy, and Double Shot pedals, use the included Black 1.0mm plastic shim or our Stainless 0.8mm Shoe Shield.

For Eggbeater or SPD pedals, we recommend installing your cleats without a shim.

Weight 340g per shoe (US 9 / EU 42)

Reviews

They seem to be of

"They seem to be of good quality. But unfortunately I have really wide right foot and after 20 min of riding they become painful. I purchased these as I was told they are wider than other brands but I guess not enough for me. Other wise I would rate at 5 stars."

— Thomas R. (2/5)

Solidly constructed shoe that fits

"Solidly constructed shoe that fits my feet well. I’ve only worn them a handful of time but so far they’re a winner."

— Steven D. (5/5)

great shoes!n

"these are great shoes, and I would highly recommend them even though I only have a couple miles under my belt with them. the ability to have adjustment from top to bottom with the laces is why selected them. they have a tight upper and a solid sole that gives you a lot of push while pedaling"

— Tony E. (5/5)

The shoes are very stiff

"The shoes are very stiff so all my power is transferred to the pedals with none going into flexing the sole. The laces are great for finite adjustment and fitment compared to ratcheting or cable tightening shoes. The materials have already shown to be durable against rubbing and scratching. The adjustment of the cleats has been easy with no movement after I set them up."

— Christopher H. (5/5)

Looks good, feels good, fits

"Looks good, feels good, fits my long narrow feet pretty well. Easy engagement with Shimano pedals. I like the lace ups, this replaced a pair of Giro Privateers with no problems."

— Mike L. (5/5)

"Super comfortable with great power transfer! I like the adjustability of the laces to accommodate thicker socks in winter."

— Bill A. (5/5)

"These shoes are comfortable but I would prefer black. I will mail return next week."

Trail-curious drop bar people

"This is your sign to buy this shoe. Put the “works/carbon/race/stiff/marginal gain” stuff aside for a second and enjoy a shoe that’s tuned for feel, control and fatigue management without compromising pedal efficiency. It’s fully white. . and it’s not $600… crazy right? I know."

— Raf (5/5)

The smile won’t leave my

"The smile won’t leave my face! These shoes are the reason for the smile. Why? 1st - the are true to the size advertised. I am a 14 and they fit great. Snug in the heel and the laces keep the shoe snug over the rest of my foot. 2nd - these shoes allow hotness to escape. My pigs are happy! 3rd - when combined with Crankbrothers pedals, I’ve noticed a quicker clip in/out experience. 4th - I love the color and style. I feel faster because I look great!"

— Kyle P. (5/5)
