Lake MX238-X Wide MTB Shoe

I previously wore Giro Sector mtb shoes (I use them for my road bike) and found them to be well made and sleek looking but tight fitting. After 2 hours of riding, I felt numbness and radiating pain on the outer part of my foot. I decided that I needed a wider shoe and found LAKE as a recommended brand on website reviews. Lake's website details method for selecting correct size by tracing your foot on paper and measuring the width and length. The fit was perfect, no tightness from the moment I put the shoe. After 4 hour bike ride, my feet still felt good with no soreness. The only complaints I have about the shoe are that they are slightly heavier and don't look quite as sporty as the Giro Sectors. I would recommend this shoe for any rider who values comfort above all. Biketiresdirect.com had the best price on this shoe.

I had Lake MX237-wide for a few years, and it was time to replace them after a rough season. So I did not hesitate and ordered the next iteration of the shoes, assuming not much has changed. But something did. The shoe itself got better, the toe and heal additions, and I like the grip of Lycra heel. But right after opening the box it. was clear that those shoes are much wider than the ones I had. I tried them on, and my feet were just bouncing inside of a toe box. Not good. Then I measured the shoe. The carbon fiber sole is the same width, but the leather part is wider than the original by 10mm, which is a lot! I have wide feet, wearing 2E New Balance, but those are like 4E. That is even without taking into account that the leather will stretch.

Finally found a shoe that fits my foot. (size 46 wide) I'm 6'-2" 180 lbs.

A real wide fit with the cut of this shoe and loose over the top of my foot so no more Hot foot on the outer right edge and no more numb toes.

Managed to get these on sale so ever better value but most importantly can ride without pain.

The most comfortable best fitting shoes I have ever bought.Plenty of room in the toe box

These are the widest shoes I have ever worn. I even used the Lake website and measured my feet and these were in the range. But I have to cinch them pretty tightly to minimize the heel lift. Thicker socks help, also. I will use them in Winter more with heavy socks and somewhat less aggressive riding. They are very comfortable, well-made, and adjustable with the dual BOAs. You may have to grind out some of the sole material around your cleat to make entry easier for SPD. The channel is very narrow and hard to align. I like them, but they are not for racing because they are heavy and the fit is loose. Get standard or normal wide sizes for that.

It was time to get new MTB shoes and I'd recently had a bad experience with a road shoe being way too narrow. I did all the online measuring from Lake and used their informative breakdown of which shoe last works best with foot measurements. These were dead on. Very pleased.

Lake makes shoes for people with realistic foot sizes. Look no further if you need shoes that you can be comfortable in on the longest days.
