Cold and wet training rides do not have to be miserable anymore. The CX146 is the answer for those fall or spring chilly road rides. Developed for mild, damp weather, the CX146 is just the right shoe for those days when your race shoes are not warm enough.
Sizing Suggestion: For use with winter weight socks we recommend ordering 1-1.5 sizes up from your usual Lake Cycling shoe size.


CX/TX Sport – The higher cadence & longer ride times which characterize road cycling require excellent foot control to avoid hot-spots & numbness. With a much closer fit than any of our off-road lasts, our Sport last cradles the foot securely to prevent any unwanted movement. This last features a precisely fitted toe-box, high arch & mid width ball girth.
Road Sport Fiberglass injected nylon outsole, only compatible with 3-bolt style road cleat and pedal systems.
The CX146 is built on Lake’ s amazing Fiberglass injected Nylon sole. Lake’ s Nylon sole is world famous for its uncompromising comfort and performance. No other injection nylon sole offers the same level of stiffness or comfort.
The upper features softshell fabric, water resistant microfiber, Thinsulate 200gr insulation and a waterproof membrane making this a highly water resistant cycling shoe great in various conditions. Clarino microfiber offers great durability and the suppleness found in leather at a significant weight reduction.
BOA® Fit System M4 dial. The M4 dial is built for gloves and freezing temperatures, defying sand, mud, and ice. Combined with Click-Fit quick release, the system makes for easy entry and exit.
Down to 25°F/-4°C
The uppers are treated with a durable water resistant (DWR) coating that will wear away over time. We recommend reapplying a DWR spray 1-2 times a year for moderate riders and every 2-3 wet rides for daily riders.
I love this winter boot. Be aware that sizes run a little smaller than regular Lake sizes. I wear a 44.5 wide in regular Lake road shoe, but had to move to a 46 wide and that is with regular socks. Thermal socks may require even more.
Great shoes. I have used them in temperatures from 25-50F. The construction is solid and the fit is comfortable. I sized up to be able to wear thicker socks. The only drawback is I wish there was some fleece lining especially around the ankle and under the velcro flap so warm air cannot escape. I found this to be an issue especially on longer colder rides. I feel a layer of light fleece and thicker padding or fleece around the ankle would easily extend the temperature rating of the boot.
Been using Lake CX332 road shoes for three years and they have been my favorite by far. These do not disappoint. Did a great job of keeping the cold and wind out in low 40f weather. A little stiff in the ankle area due to the height but not terrible. Not like I am racing in them. Worked much better than wrapping my toes with foil and shoe covers. Took the suggestion to go up one size. Will accommodate thicker socks better. It takes a little doing to properly orient the tongue before closing up the shoe, not a deal breaker just something to note. Wish I had not waited so long to get these.
Well made winter shoe. Good up to 50 degrees then hot at least in the sun. These will outlast 10 pair of over shoes.
They feel like galosh's when walking but once on a ride I m very glad to have them and hammer in comfort.
Easy to get in for winter shoes and a luxury to replace over shoes.
Included foot bed is low arch and I wear a nike 12 EEE and a 46 wide here and am comfortable.
After 30 years I figured it was time for a new pair of Lake winter boots. I knew it might take some back and forth to get the right size and settled on the 11.75/ 45 W pair to replace my size 10 old ones. I wanted slightly larger as my toes were too close to the front on my old ones. Got a 50 mile ride in today upper 30’s. Nice warm feet, improvement in every way. Much easier to get in and out of with the boa vs lace up inner and velcro straps. Well done Lake!
