CX 238

I started with the 332’s extra-wide 42 (which I've still got and use the 238's a spare) - went down a size in these to 41 in the wide - very good if not great - soft upper - carbon sole with an a-typical Lake guide on it - tho bought an insole/sockliner for me - WELL RECOMMENDED if not the best I've used !!!

I was having such bad foot pain (my previous cycling shoe were too narrow), so I treated myself the CX238's. It's been life-changing - my foot pain is completely gone and the shoe provides incredible support and a great platform to push some serious watts. The size guide was 100% accurate and I've very excited about the fit, comfort, and quality. Highly recommend Lake shoes and it's worth the cost.

Best shoe I have ever owned. I have wide feet .
I tell every one I fit to try this shoes.

When I think about all the money I’ve wasted over the years trying to find comfortable cycling shoes! Just wish I’d gone for these from the start. I chose not to originally because they seemed too expensive but now I can see the false economy of trying to compromise with cheaper brands. I have a broad forefoot and arthritis in my big toe joint and shoes invariably have a seam or fastener right over the painful area. Not these though - just beautiful soft leather. Turns out I didn’t need the extra width model; the regular width are perfect and keep my feet snug and comfortable. Having 2 boa closures is great. I’ve ridden a 6 hours audax in these and my feet were the only part of my body not aching at the end!

The fit and quality is worth the expense. I have concluded that nothing, and I mean nothing compares to the suppleness of leather to not feel tight, while keeping the foot solidly attached to the pedals. They keep the foot cool too. The fit of these, being wider at the ball area of the foot is fantastic for long rides. The overall construction is excellent. Great shoes are every bit as important as the right seat or bike fit. I cannot communicate how much Lake has contributed to my enjoyment of cycling.
