Due to the size of my feet, lake is one of the few options I have for wide shoes. After heat modded it myself, it becomes really comfortable.
Very pleased with my new Lake CX 403 shoes.
I followed the heat molding process twice to get the fit correct while using my trainer the second go around.
My initial molding left me concerned with some pressure points and not using the trainer and standing there existed some concern. Once I clipped into my pedals all pressure points vanished, the shoes fit perfectly, forming to my feet unlike any pair of shoes previously used. The fit while standing is a bit disconcerting and not perfectly comfortable, but after several hundred miles of riding, simply love the shoe. Plenty of room in toe box, yet very secure in connecting to the bike. Coupled these shoes with my new Pinarello F and am extremely happy with the ride. I would highly recommend to those who are micro adjusters as the latest BOA fastening system allow for great adjustability. A bit pricey, but well worth the cost if you spend enough time in the saddle to know what quality, comfort and connection to the bike really means
I am very happy thus far with my CX 403 shoes! On my first long ride with them I did develop some lateral foot pain like I was getting with my old shoes, but since then have not had any pain. I did do the oven molding but will possibly do that again. Thank you Lake!!
Nothing to say about Lake shoes: absolutely perfect. I've bought 7 or 8 shoes of Lake, from the first edition only white and red. The best shoes in the bike world (5 stars), but i can't say the same about the customer service (1 star).
Good afternoon, Daniele.
Thank you for the kind comments about the shoes.
I would however like to better understand what issues you had with our customer service.
We try our best to always provide helpful and professional customer service.
Best regards,
The Lake Team
I have used many shoes. Sidi’s last well, shimano were just reliable, Mavic were rubbish.
These are on a totally different level to them all.
The best shoes you will ever wear for cycling. Superbly stiff without discomfort, fantastic range of cleat positioning, a lovely closure system that applies even pressure.
You will not find a better shoe.
