Airy performance on hot days: Crankbrothers Trail Vent shoes

July 1, 2026 by Andrew Waldera

Crankbrothers Trail Vent shoes

Product news: The iconic brand Crankbrothers is launching two highly ventilated mountain bike shoe models, the Stamp Trail Vent and the Mallet Trail Vent, specifically designed for maximum performance on hot days. Engineered for high airflow, the new Vent shoes combine light weight, high breathability, and quick drying after river crossings.

With the new Vent models, Crankbrothers is targeting the hottest days of the year. Both shoes feature a highly ventilated mesh upper for maximum airflow and a non-absorbent, quick-drying EVA foam tongue that wicks away moisture quickly after river crossings or wet sections. A TPU-reinforced toe cap, combined with a raised outsole, provides the necessary impact protection. Both versions are fastened with a quick-lace system featuring a one-pull mechanism.
