Since 1982, Lake has focused on creating functional and comfortable cycling shoes. In fact, before Lake invented a technical mountain biking cycling shoe, they didn’t even exist. Now, Lake have a huge range of cycling shoes for all types of terrain - for this review, we will be looking at the CX237 cycling shoes.

Lake make sure there is something for every foot out there - the CX237 are available from EUR size 37 (UK size 4) all the way up to EUR size 50 (UK size 15), in both regular and wide foot options.

Let’s break down each section of the CX237, starting with the upper; it is composed of full grain leather combined with a mesh and leather heel lining, which makes the shoes super-duper snug (that is the technical terminology). In fact, without getting a bespoke shoe made, I think you would be hard-pushed to find a more comfortable fit.

Moving from the soft and snug upper, we find the stiff 100% carbon fibre outsole. This high performance sole gives impressive support for high-cadence riding, but it may be a little too stiff for more casual riders.

The CX237 features a curved profile with increased toe pitch and heel lift,  the tighter heel and wider ball girth allowing the foot to expand under high pedalling pressure. It also has Dual Side Mounted Push/Pull BOA L5 lacing system with releasable lace guides - in layman’s terms this is means you can get an evenly distributed fit without uncomfortable pressure points.

The CX237 are an extremely comfortable shoe, provide stiffness in the soles when you need it but with just enough flex to stop your feet turning into a blistering mess. It complements the natural contours of the foot and with a little bit of care, they will provide years of high performance cycling enjoyment. RRP $299.99
