CX146

The sizing is different than the SPD version which is roomier. These are very tight. I would size up two sizes instead of just one size. Overall insulation is great. Warm down to 32° below 32°, here in Utah, toe warmers or heated socks are a must.

This is my second pear of cycling boots but first road set and first time with Lake. Definitely does a great job with keeping my feet warm. I wore a regular sock in conditions that I would have to wear neoprene with my other boots and my feet were dry as can be. Some minor notes that really don’t affect the score is that getting them on can be a little tough but no worse then booties and cleat position looks like it sticks out too far for me. However, those issues
don’t detract at all from the product.

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.
