Great shoe for XC riders

Expert Recommendation Content I've put over 20 hours on the Mallet Trail shoes since I got them and they've worked really well. I started out a little hesitant that they'd be loose fitting in the heel, but the trick is to tighten the boa really tight first, then pull the velcro strap over to really lock your foot in. I have a pretty wide toe box and these are comfortable for up to about 2 hours, then they start to feel a little tight. I feel like a little more breaking in will eliminate that issue though. I've had to do some hike-a-bike in these and the tread still looks good. I've also had to ride through some mud and, while the shoes got dirty, my feet stayed dry and clean.

Small

These are well made, probably awesome just made for tiny people. Length is pretty accurate but I'd error 1/2 size higher than your actual measurement if you don't always wear super thin socks or trim your toenails. Now the negatives. The upper is waaaay too tiny, I had to remove the insoles before I could even close the Velcro and even then I'm probably going to have to punch holes in it and tie it down. Toe box is crushingly small, can't ride for more than 20 minutes before I feel like jen in her shoe crazy episode of the IT Crowd.
