This is my second pair of Lake cycling…

This is my second pair of Lake cycling shoes. I have a wide foot and Lake shoes are the only ones I found that fit me. For short fast rides or long, all-day-in-the-saddle outings nothing beats Lakes for comfort and reliability. If Lake made a street shoe, I’d be sporting those. I don’t exaggerate when I say my Lake cycling shoes are the best shoes I own.

Warning when dealing with Lake Cycling…

Warning when dealing with Lake Cycling Shoes.Their size calculator is wrong. They don't accept any responsibility for the mistakes and errors on their website or build quality. Its the buyers risk whether shoes fit. The buyer bares all cost for the return of goods despite all headlines in their emails. The company is not to be trusted and I cannot recommend them.

Great shoes, poor customer service

Shoes are light and well made, particularly for someone who wears zero drops almost always. Normal biking shoes are like torture. No question with versatility and quality. My singular issue was with customer service. I think I paid a total of $50 in shipping a shoe box to me and back and then a new one back to me (their size tool was wrong, and yes I did change style in the process of getting the right size). Turn around time was very slow. I had to email and wait nearly a week for an RMA. Then, I had to prod them again to get a shipping return receipt acknowledgement after a week of it being shown as delivered. Getting the right size and shoe took me a full month. For a premium company and their medium level shoe ($250), I would expect better.

The best truly wide, high quality bike shoes out there

This is my second pair of Lake shoes. As someone with extremely wide feet, the size/width charts are extremely helpful in helping me choose the correct ones. I am always tempted to size up due to the width, but the charts are very accurate in ensuring I get the right fit on the first try.

Good shoes and great service

Shoes are very comfortable and the service was excellent, especially as I had to return them for a bigger size.

So glad I took the plunge!!

I trusted (many) others in a cycling group that recommended Lake shoes for my feet issues. After spending what was already a small fortune, I bit the bullet and purchased what was recommended through the size guide on the website. They’re not the most attractive cycling shoe but I finished my first century in them this past weekend. My first and only other ride in them was 80 miles the weekend before. My issues were not entirely solved but they were immensely less and I was able to manage when it happened because I had room in the shoes to move my feet around. I wish I had taken the plunge sooner. I will forever highly recommend Lakes!!

Quality cycling shoes

Quality cycling shoes! I wanted a more foot-shaped cycling shoe to allow more room in the forefoot and to allow my toes to spread more naturally. The CX 201 seems to be that shoe for me. I don’t have wide feet but do have a high arch/high volume foot. I was concerned about the shoe being too wide and feeling floppy. Lake’s fit guidance and online tool helped my select a size and it was correct on the first try! Shoes fit great, don’t feel like my foot slips around at all - while also not feeling like they’re crammed into an unnatural position. So far the Lake CX 201 has met my needs and exceeded my expectations. I’ve probably spent 8-10 hours riding in the shoe and so far I’m impressed. I don’t expect to get any negative surprises with more miles.

Shoes look very tatty after a very short time

Well fitting shoes but after only 6 months off ware they look very tatty. The soft outer Kangaroo skin of the shoe marks very easily and the leather has come away from the front off the show were I have caught it on the cleats. I spent nearly £400 on these shoes and are very disappointed. Not as hardy as my previous shoes I would not recommend them.This is what Lake say about the shoe Kangaroo leather, for Lake by Packer Leather, is the lightest, strongest & most durable natural leather. I don't think so.

Love the MX21Gs!

After using a fairly flexible, more casual cycling shoe for my reentry into cycling, I wanted to try a higher-performing, stiffer shoe. After considering a few options, I decided to buy some Lake Cycling MX21Gs. I used Lake’s measuring process and online selection tool, which recommended a 40 Wide. I’ve never thought of myself as having particularly wide feet, and decided to try the MX21Gs in a 40 regular instead. Those shoes fit, but my right pinkie toe felt a little pinched. I wore the shoes indoors for a few hours while working and they seemed to get better, but I wasn’t convinced it was the right size. So I ordered the 40 Wide. Shame on me for not trusting Lake’s recommendation! The 40 Wides fit so much better, no hotspot on my right pinkie toe! I finally got cleats mounted and went for my usual 15-mile gravel ride and LOVE the MX21Gs. The full carbon sole is so much stiffer than what I had been using, so I feel like power transfer is better. Plus the shoe was comfortable from first pedal stroke to the last…not bad to walk in, either. I like the classic good looks of the shoe, as well as the more traditional lacing system. 10/10 would recommend, especially for people wanting a classically styled shoe that offers contemporary performance.Shout out to Sean, who answered my questions promptly and walked me through the return process.
