Crankbrothers Pedal Match Shoe Shim

Some shoe soles have a tread pattern or curvature that prevents the cleat from sitting flush against the mounting surface. These shims fill that gap, ensuring your cleat is properly supported so it doesn't flex or wobble during your pedal stroke.

These shims are specifically engineered for the Crankbrothers shoe and cleat interface. While they might physically fit other setups, they are optimized for the specific sole geometry of Crankbrothers footwear.

Yes, they add a minimal amount of stack height to your cleat setup. Because they are made of aluminum, they provide a rigid, consistent platform without adding significant bulk or weight to your shoe.

If you notice your cleats feel loose, have excessive play, or are difficult to clip in and out of your pedals, your shoe sole might be interfering with the cleat engagement. Installing a shim creates the necessary clearance for a secure, consistent connection.

In most cases, the standard bolts included with your Crankbrothers cleats are sufficient. However, if you find you have less than 5mm of thread engagement after installing the shim, you should source slightly longer bolts to ensure a safe connection.
