Crankbrothers Shoe Shields

We're big fans of Crankbrothers pedals because they're super light and work great even in messy conditions. However, the retention bars, which are crucial for their excellent performance, sometimes tend to damage the soles of our favorite and pricey shoes. That's where Crankbrothers Shoe Shields come in. These are stainless - steel plates placed between the cleat and the shoe to safeguard the soles. The precision - cut design offers a much better fit than any DIY attempt with tin snips and a beer can. The smart cutouts let the cleats grip the shoe as normal, preventing unwanted twisting. These shields are thick enough to last a long time but thin enough not to affect platform stability by adding stack height. They use standard - length hardware, and their smooth finish provides smoother rotational float. Each set includes 2 shoe shields, is compatible with all Crankbrothers MTB cleats, and weighs only 8 grams per pair. Your shoes will definitely thank you.

Using your Crankbrothers Shoe Shields is easy. First, remove the cleats from your shoes. Then, place the shoe shields between the shoe and the cleats, aligning them properly. Re - attach the cleats using the standard - length hardware that comes with the shields. As for maintenance, just wipe them clean after each use to keep them in good condition. When riding, there's no need to worry about extra weight as they're very light. Also, since they're made of stainless steel, they're quite durable. But remember, make sure they're always properly aligned to get the best performance and protection for your shoes.
