Lake CX238 — Premium Road Racing Performance

Evolving from the CX237, Lake has improved upon performance and durability, with its high-cadence riding favorite, the Lake CX238 Road Shoe.

Shaped for a better, more comfortable fit, the Competition last increases toe pitch and heel lift, allowing the foot to expand under high pedaling pressure. Supporting the shoe is Lake's Race carbon fiber sole, offering impressive stiffness and power transfer while remaining low in weight. To protect the shoe from premature wear, the full-grain leather upper boasts a panel at the heel and a rubber bumper at the toe, plus mesh panels for proper ventilation.

Designed for high-pressure riding, the Lake CX238's wider forefoot provides the relief you need to focus on the road ahead.

Features:

  • A top-tier road shoe for training and racing
  • Fullgrain Water Resistant Premium Leather and mesh with hook lycra
  • Helcor heel panel and rubber toe bumper helps protects the upper from scuffs and scratched
  • Outlast temperature regulating heel and tongue lining offers a luxurious foot feel while maintaining a breathable, durable & firm grip to your foot
  • Race Carbon sole for excellent power transfer
  • CX Competition last provides a secure fit and wider forefoot to relieve pressure
  • Precise and secure closure with the dual BOA system
  • Mesh paneling and vents enhance airflow and cooling

    Boy oh boy, I didn't know what I was missing. Coming from entry level giro cadets which were absolutely fine. These actually make me want to cinch down on the boas because they just feel better when they are snug.

    Firstly, prompt delivery and competitive pricing!

    Now, I went to greater lengths in figuring out my appropriate shoe size. After contacting Lake and adding another 1/2 size to their measurements (including the initial 1/2 size addition in the original calculation) I ended up with a shoe that fits very well. I am glad I contacted LAKE and went with their recommendation, otherwise their would have been too small. If you are not sure and want to be sure, contact Lakes website for correct calculations and further more contact Lake directly.

    Regarding these shoes, I find the leather to be supple, overall comfortable, slightly wider in the regular width, modest arch support which might not fit well for flatter feet, brutal insoles that require replacing and a fantastic Boa system without pressure points. Also, I am quite impressed with the air flow, I had my doubts but these have exceeded my expectations in the ventilation department.

    Super Happy with these Road Shoes

    I have always worn SIDI�s and have been very happy. However, recently, I bought a pair of SIDIs that were just not comfortable so I started looking around and decided to give these Lake�s a try. WOW! I have been very impressed with the comfort so far. I also like the BOA system better than the SIDI tightening system. So far my only negative is that the Lake�s are made in China where the SIDIs are made in Italy. Overall, I�m very happy with them.

    I finally found the right shoe!

    I�ve been struggling for years to find a cycling shoe that truly fits me. I�ve tried many, many shoes over the years and nothing ever fit me just right. Everything was always too narrow, so I would go up a size, but the still never fit right. I just learned to deal with it. I was finally turned on to Lake shoes a few months ago and my feet have never been happier.

    I don�t have a particularly wide food - in fact I�d call it average. Lake are really known for helping people with wide feet, but for the person who has average-width feet I can 100% recommend these shoes.

    I�ve been dealing with Morton�s Neuroma in one foot. These shoes have been godsend with their wider toe box. They are very well made, plenty stiff and supportive. Use Lake�s foot measurement system to get the correct size.

    Light, stiff and comfortable for a wide foot

    I tried the Specialized Ares shoe first and it was nice but too narrow for my feet with a perfect length. The Lake CX238 has a nice stiff and light carbon sole and fits my slightly wider foot (age 61 cyclist) with just enough room for thicker socks if I want to wear them. The two BOA ratcheting knobs on each shoe let you micro-adjust tightness in each direction (tighten or loosen). These shoes are super comfortable for rides up to 6 hours. My only slight complaint is that I do feel a bit of tightness from the uppermost tightening wire on my right foot when I am climbing and pedaling hard out of the saddle. They are still five star shoes to me. I used the Lake shoe sizing guide on their website to choose after measuring my feet on a sheet of paper as they recommend.

    Great Comfortable Shoes

    These are incredibly comfortable cycling shoes. While I purchased these on sale, they are absolutely worth the full price. I purchased these since I needed to finally replace my Time road pedal system. I had been using Carnac shoes(now extinct). Those were pricey in their time and were made of Kangaroo leather. I never thought I'd find shoes as conforming as those, but these Lake shoes likely surpass them. The leather upper in these shoes is soft and conforming, with a wider toe area than Sidis. The 2 BOA laces give ample adjustablity and fit. I have bunions that are no problem for these shoes. These shoes have a decent arch built in, but I still use my orthotics and have no issues with heel slide. I got the appropriate size by following the instructions on the Lake website. I recommend putting mink oil type leather protector on these to help protect the leather in the event you get caught in any wet weather. I am unsure of the overall durability of the leather, but as long as I get a few years use I'll be grateful. Time will tell.

    I bought these to replace a pair of CX 237s which were nice shoes, but had a couple of flaws or limitations. First, the boa closure on the 237 model did not have the micro adjust in the reverse (loosening) direction, the 238 has the micro-adjustable boa closure. The 237 also had a leather liner. Over the time I've had them this liner has cracked and torn from getting wet and then drying out, repeatedly. I never had that issue with other shoes, but it was what caused me to replace them. The 238 fixed this issue by making the liner synthetic. Other improvements are the toe and heal guards to reduce the likelihood of scuffing the leather. The shoe is vey comfortable, particularly if you like a roomy toe box like I do. The sole is a nice, stiff carbon sole.

    Overall, Lake took a good shoe with good value for the money and made it quite a bit better! I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it.

    This shoe is very comfortable and fits well. I wear a size 47 in Lake and it was true to size as per their size chart (i.e. size 13+shoe in U.S. ). I have put in about 1000 miles or so finding it comfortable with winter socks as well.

    This was purchased after finding the newer Specialized shoes too tight around the rear of the foot at the ankle joint area.
