Lake CX238 Road Cycling Shoes

The Lake CX238 is a beautiful, stylish, competition worthy and comfortable road cycling shoe. It has been designed for very high power transfer to the pedal.

Outer material for comfort and shoe protection
The upper of the CX238 combines water-resistant grain leather and mesh to make this a comfortable racing shoe. The temperature regulating heel and tongue lining offers a luxurious foot feel, while maintaining a breathable, durable and firm grip on your foot. The Lake CX238 has a profile designed specifically for riding at very high cadence and pressure, and a Competition last, which has a more curved profile than Lake's Sport last. The main differences are a raised toe and heel area, a tighter heel and a slightly wider ball girth of your foot. Thus, this racing shoe is well suited to long rides because the fit allows the forefoot to expand a little during the long effort and high pedalling pressure. The Helcor leather heel plate and rubber toe bumper help protect the upper from wear and scratches. The Dual Push/Pull IP1-S BOA lacing system with lace guides that can be released allows for even better adjustment of the racing shoe to your foot.

Sole and footbed
The 100% carbon outsole ensures that all power is transferred to the pedals. Lake uses the Syksól® Premium footbed, and the High Performance Insoles technology. The mix of the technical fabrics creates a footbed that offers long-lasting comfort and improved foot stability.

Detailed explanation of sizing in mm
In order to help you, as best we can, to choose the right size shoe we have measured all the shoes ourselves. All that's left for you to do is measure your own foot length, and we'll tell you which shoe size per brand suits you best. Does your foot length in mm not appear on the relevant product's page? Then that particular shoe is not available in a size that suits your foot length.

You can easily measure your foot length using an A4 sheet of paper, placed on the floor against a wall. Stand with one foot on the piece of paper, with your heel against the wall. Draw a line above your big toe (or above the index toe if that is longer). Now mark your other foot on the paper in the same way. Measure both - the measurement of your longest foot is your foot length in mm's! Please note: some manufacturers have their own measuring system, and as a result what appears on the shoebox can deviate from what we have measured.

What shoe size you need can differ per brand. This is because certain brands wear larger or smaller. To help you get the perfect fit, we've also classified the shoes as narrow, average, or wide fit. Read all about it in our blog!
