Ride with precision and comfort using the Lake CX238 Wide Road Shoe—designed for high-performance cyclists
Lake evolves the CX237 to the new CX238 with updates to improve the longevity and performance of this long-time favorite road racing shoe in a wide model that is 15mm wider than the standard. The Competition last is shaped for better fit and comfort during hard efforts, with a slimmer heel and wider forefoot to allow for foot expansion under pressure. Supporting it all is Lake’s Race carbon fiber sole, providing the stiffness we need for better power transfer and durability. A panel at the heel and a rubber bumper at the toe protect from prematurely wearing out the full-grain leather upper, which has mesh panels and venting to improve cooling.

Great road shoe for wide feet

Most comfortable road shoes for wide feet. Easy to adjust. Just make sure you have the correct measurements for your foot WHEN splayed as if you were standing on the pedals. (Foot gets wider and sometimes longer). Lakes size chart with proper measurements is spot on. One issue is that Lake wide shoes can cause over pronation if you don’t set up your cleats properly. I had to move the cleats more to the middle (side to side) with the minimum shoe/crankarm clearance to keep from some pronation.

NOT THE SAME SIZING AS ALL OTHER LAKES

Dissappointingly the length is about 1/2 size shorted BUT the toe box width is HUGE. Its like when they designed these they wanted to use the same amount of material. Theory:if its wider, it must be shorter so the same amount of material is used. I have 4 other pairs of wide Lakes. They are all not wide enough (for me) but the length of toe box is perfect. O, I'm talking about a size 46.5. I assumed that these would be the same size as ALL OTHER lakes BUT WIDER. NoT THE CASE here. I love them but I cant do century rides with them on because my toes cramp up due to lack of space in toe box area. So I cant dress in a red color coordiated outfit for long rides. Bummer!

I have worn them a few times now, and what a huge difference vs. other wide cycling shoes I have and have tried before. High volume shoes are not the same. This pair from Lake finally seems to have a truly wide toebox. The comfort was pretty immediate. I put on 50 miles this AM and the feet felt great getting off the bike...a first. The boa closure is pretty slick too. And the pair I got are white, but I have to say, for a cycle shoe, they look good too.

I have especially wide feet, and these CX238 wides are a perfect fit for my feet. My previous Giro Empires would cause seriously red and painful hot spots along the widest parts of both of my feet after about two hours, even after trying to stretch them out and using anti-chafing cream. I've pedaled in the Lakes for 4+ hour rides with no discomfort whatsoever. While the price is high, they have been well well worth it. Other things to note: the IP1 BOA dials are bi-directional so it is possible to both micro-tighten AND loosen them. Many other lower end BOA dials are uni-directional, where you can only micro-tighten but have to completely disengage them if you want to loosen them. The kangaroo leather is nice and supple and the white looks way better than the black IMHO, but obviously shows up scuffs and blemishes much more then the black.

At 75, my feet are getting wider and give me problems. I have gone to shoes like Altras and Lems: wide toe box, zero drop and I have tried to find wide cycling shoes as well. These shoes seemed to be way too expensive for my budget but the reviews were great. I guess you really do get what you pay for: these are the best shoes ever. The toe box is the first I have enjoyed that is actually wide enough: I can spread and splay my toes. The twin Boas are great. Imagine: comfortable cycling shoes. The first I have found in 45 years. I have ridden about 150 miles in my new shoes over the last month.
