Best MTB shoe I’ve used
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 43.5
- Weight:
- 178
Roomy, great power transfer to pedal and very comfortable. The wide version makes all the difference. I’d recommend it for normal width feet and bigger. Went up a half size and I love it

Love these shoes
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 43.5

I bought the MX238 size 43.5 Wide, with the recommendation of a bike fitter. I have bought many others that were too tight. Unlike the other reviews my foot and heel fit perfectly. My last shoes were 45 Shimano, they felt good, but when I placed my foot on the insert, it was more than an inch longer. This is bad for cleat and pedal placement. As the Brits and Irish say, Happy Days!

Creaky!

Less than a year after purchasing, these shoes are so noisy I?m ready to toss them in the trash. I chased a noise for a month that I thought was coming from the bike only to finally learn it?s coming from the shoe itself. I tried new cleats, new pedals, and even a different bike. Noise follows me everywhere. These shoes are expensive, and while nice- should not be this annoying after less than a year. I reached out to Lake, and was disappointed in their customer service. My previous Pearl?s were 3 years old and never made a peep. I can not recommend these shoes.

Heal lift is real (ly bad)
I had hunted for a long time to find a MTB shoe to fit my EEE width forefoot and skinny heal/ankle and read a ton of great things about this shoe. When I first put them in my living room on I was so excited as they fit perfectly then I stood up and my heal almost came out of the back. I tried everything to fix it (different socks, tightening down the BOA) and nothing worked so I had to return them and keep searching.

Very happy with the MX238
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 45.5
- Height:
- 5' 11"
- Weight:
- 155
Wanted a stiff trail shoe that offered some protection without being bulky. MX238 checked the boxes. Tried measuring my foot according to Lake’s guide and it resulted in a half size too small. Ended up with a 45.5, which is what I normally wear. The shoe might be biased wide, but with the dual boa system, I get a snug fit without any squeezing. Appreciate the nice boa dials with quick release. I tried a different shoe that didn’t have the QR and sent it back. The size 45 weighted in at 435g without cleats (45.5 was 440g). Very stiff, not great for hike-a-bike, but that was expected. I’ve got different shoes for those days. Summary... comfortable, quality construction, and the black/camo looks awesome.
