LXSDL Cycling Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve ridden the LXSDL on long days bikepacking and commuting, and it performs like a true cycling shoe—stiff, supportive, and efficient on the pedals. But it also breathes like no other, which is a lifesaver in the heat. The rubber tread grips well off-bike, and the wide last keeps things super comfortable when you're on your feet all day."

Lake’s LXSDL Shoe is not just a nod to retro cycling style—it’s a full-fledged technical cycling shoe built for warm-weather riding and multi-surface adventures. Designed on the MX Comfort Plus last, the LXSDL provides a wider forefoot fit and exceptional breathability, making it ideal for cyclists who need comfort and performance in high-heat or long-day scenarios.

The sole blends real rubber and EVA with a fiberglass-injected nylon midsole, delivering the stiff pedaling platform we expect from a proper cycling shoe, without sacrificing off-bike comfort. It’s SPD-compatible for efficient power transfer and includes a fiberglass heel counter for added structure and support. The Clarino microfiber upper and abrasion-resistant toe guard add durability, while dual hook-and-loop straps lock down the fit.

This is a purpose-built shoe for riders chasing long-distance tours, enduro routes, or city commutes where pedal performance meets all-day walkability. Add the optional bootie liner, and you’ve got a versatile setup that extends well into the shoulder season.
