Why We Like The CX238 Cycling Shoe
Lake evolves the CX237 to the new CX238 with updates to improve the longevity and performance of this long-time favorite road racing shoe. The Competition last is shaped for better fit and comfort during hard efforts, with a slimmer heel and wider forefoot to allow for foot expansion under pressure. Supporting it all is Lake’s Race carbon fiber sole, providing the stiffness we need for better power transfer and durability. A panel at the heel and a rubber bumper at the toe protect from prematurely wearing out the full-grain leather upper, which has mesh panels and venting to improve cooling.

Found my perfect road shoe after 15 year
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 49 regular
I finally found the perfect shoe. Size 49 Lake CX238 is my new 100 mile shoe. Stiff carbon soles, real leather uppers, totally adjustable boas. I've never been so comfortable. They weren't cheap but for comfort, I don't care. As a big foot, I've suffered with numbness and cramping toes (aka hotfoot) for years. Cycling shoes just aren't an easy fit in a size 14 (not wide). They're usually too tight In a regular width and too wide in "wide". Or the sole Is not stiff enough in models that come in a size 49/50. I've tried Bont moldable shoes (too high arch), Shimano's in various width, Specialized regular and wide width. Cramping usually starts around mile 25 into mile 40. 50 milers are always a struggle requiring some dancing on the pedals. I really can feel the Improvement In power transfer and it shows in my stats. Simply Incredible. Regarding size-most road shoes in this size run a little tight. This is as roomy as my trail runner shoes. So if you compensate for typical bike shoes being small, do t. Size up one

Just great shoes
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 43.5
Just got a pair of the black CX238 road shoes, size 43.5. That new leather smell as you open the box. This is now my fourth pair of 238 range shoes, between road and mountain shoes. Yes, I have a problem. But the Lake 238 shoes fit my feet perfectly, no hot spots, no pinching or crushing of the toes, they are just the perfect shoes for my foot shape. Run maybe just a bit small compared to other shoes, most other shoes I've had have been size 43. Or perhaps the Lakes are just true to size and the others were a bit off. Started with a burgundy pair, then just had to get the white, and now this black pair, to go along with my beetle/black mountain shoes. And may just have to get a pair of the new fluo yellow/red road shoes.

Best shoe I?ve owned
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The first time I put them on, even before I attached the cleats, I knew they were keepers. I had not planned to spend that much money. They have a large toe box which is just what I need while the upper softly hugs your foot. The arch is nice These are my first shoes with carbon soles. What a difference. Pedaling is like being on an elliptical like you?re whole foot is applying pressure. Lake has won me over..
