I had purchased the cx403 after trying them on at a local shop. 45 wides that requires some molding to get to fit comfortably. After riding 500 miles I felt a need for more room in the mid section of the foot and the cx 242 provided just that. Straight out of the box these shoes fit with no need for molding. If I tighten the 403's too much in the toe box area I tend to develop a pain at the head of the 5th meta tarsal. Not with the 242's. They feel wider and allow my foot the flex just a little bit more without irritation. I still use both on different bikes but the 242's are now my favorite shoes.
After trying to cram my feet into several different models of allegedly wide Fizik and Sidi shoes, the CX 241 Wide was recommended to me, and I rode 10,000 very comfortable kms in them. My fitter told me this Spring that the new CX 242 Wide had even more volume in the toe box and I have to say: these are perfect. Zero fit issues, even on very long rides. Can be tightened down for sprint sessions and relaxed for all day rides. Love them!
Fit great for wider foot! I have a headache finding cycling gear that fits me...slighty "bigger" american. These worked like a charm!
Despite the fact I had to wait almost 3 weeks for my order to arrive, I must say I am totally impressed with my new shoes worth every penny, for a wide foot and comfort those are the best shoes ever CX 242 Wide, I am actually thinking of buying a second pair
Thank you Lake for these fantastic shoes that I highly recommend to everyone
Daniel,
Thanks for feedback and we apologize for the delay in receiving your new shoes, the CX242 is a newer model and is currently in high demand. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the CX242. If you are in the market for new off-road shoes, we offer the MX242 which shares the same features offered in the CX242 and remember N+1 also applies to cycling shoes!

I typically wear a 9-9.5 street shoe, and as gravity has taken its toll, my feet are now 4E-6E depending on the brand. I followed the Lake instructions about measurements, then emailed them. They were super helpful, and recommended the CX 242. I am delighted to report that the 43 Wide fits extremely well.
