Description
The CX242 is a culmination of all of our experience, advanced materials, and shoe making techniques to make a shoe that offers the best fitting solution for hard to fit foot types. Made with a heat moldable heel counter and an uniquely designed upper that has enough adjustability to accommodate riders with bunions, deformation, narrow or wide feet, or a high or low instep. The separated panels allow for fine tuning the fit, relieving pressure from sensitive and painful spots on the feet.
Last
CX/TX Competition Last – With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure, our Competition last features a more curved profile than the Sport last. The main differences include increased toe pitch & heel lift, a tighter heel & a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.
Outsole
Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole. Available in a 3-hole cleat pattern.
Upper
Fullgrain leather or Clarino Microfiber and NuFoam lining with Carbon fiber support panels, which help to maintain a secure fit while adding foot stability. The upper is segmented into 6 independent zones for the most flexible fit to accommodate narrow or wide feet as well as high instep and low instep feet. The moldable heel counter doubles the heel hold for a secure fit. Carbitex support panels offer additional support to enhance the closure.
Closure
BOA® Fit System Li2 dials. The Li2 dial is the most advanced platform in cycling, offering a precise, micro-adjustable fit in both directions and designed to resist abrasion.

My feet are apparently off the charts wide for their length (245/105). No I do not have bunions. I do not have an injury. My feet look perfectly normal. But the sizing calculator tells me I'm in error! Lake is the only mfr that makes even ONE shoe to fit. This is it.
It is heavy.
It is porous.
It has the aerodynamics of a brick with holes.
But for the long bikepacking and races I target (Unbound, Rad, BWR) this is the only one. I'd really like to change up but I'm probably going to have to purchase my third pair. I wish someone would make a 105mm width shoe in a size below 48!

To small not true to size

One of the best cycling shoes I've worn.

Fit really well!

I have a pair of the cx 403's and those were great. So I figure let's try something a little different from Lake and wow these 242's fit me right out of the box. Nice, cushy, and soft across the top of the foot. I was not expecting the mesh top so I hope these will keep my feet nice and cool during summer rides. There was a lot more room from the head of the 5th metatarsal without any sort of molding. Just a very nice product all around.
