Why We Like The Lake CX242 Cycling Shoe
Built to accommodate almost any foot shape, the Lake CX242 is a high-performance road shoe so that those of us who have hard-to-fit feet can still ride in complete comfort. The upper is constructed with six independent zones and a moldable heel counter for the perfect fit whether we're working with super narrow feet, a high instep, or even bunions. A 100% carbon fiber sole gives us the stiffest possible interface between our feet and pedals for the ultimate power transfer.

Amazing Lake CX242s
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 45
Really struggled finding a shoe that was comfortable on longer rides. Had issues with my feet going numb. Used the chat and got some recommendations. Got it down to two options...both from Lake. Sizing was a major concern and I ended up using the free exchange. I wear a size 11 and ended up in the size 45. Fir is great. Having the two adjusters and the way the straps work is super helpful. Adjustments are easy pre and during rides. My feet also get hot and these breathe well. Lots of airflow. I did get toe covers for so-cal winters but have not used them yet. I mean, it's so-cal...doesnt get THAT cold. Overall amazing shoe. Really torn on spending the money but very glad I did. Would buy again.

Sizing was a bit tricky for my feet.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 44.5
- Height:
- 5' 9"
- Weight:
- 150
Sizing was a bit tricky for me, I am a 10.5 US, following the lake sizing instructions the first shoe 43.5 was way too small so I returned the shoe for a 44, still too small, returned for a 44.5 that shoe fit great. It offers so much adjustment it really is the best shoe I have ever worn. Competitive Cyclist returns were very easy and customer service was helpful.
