MX145 Cycling Shoe

Nothing shuts down the fun on a snow-bike adventure faster than cold, wet feet. If you plan on putting a respectable number of miles atop your fat bike this winter, you'll need to invest in some dedicated footwear. It makes all the difference in the world. Lake has been making winter-specific cycling shoes for a few years now, so it already has the concept pretty well dialed in. That started with the MXZ303 winter biking boot, but honestly, it's overkill unless you're doing some very serious, very cold fat biking. For most of us, the MX145 mid-weight winter cycling shoe will do very nicely.


The MX145 starts with MX Sport Last featuring a larger and roomier toe-box than the Comfort last and provides increased foot control through the heel and forefoot. Its sole is relatively stiff for efficiency and features a Hypergrip Enduro outsole with Ice Lock anti-slip lug inserts. This combination has the stiffness to put power to the pedals and offers plenty of traction off the bike as well. The uppers are a highly water-resistant waxed canvas and leather, and Lake employs a waterproof membrane to seal out the elements.


The dual BOA IP1 closures have been quickly adopted by the professional ranks due to the fact that it offers easy fine-tuning, and it stays snug throughout your entire ride. And since you're able to independently adjust the tension on the forefoot and the heel, you can lock down your heel, without having to over-tighten the rest of the shoe. And as you probably know, this means better blood flow and greater comfort.

Biking Shoe

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I wear a size 15 skate board shoe and the size 50 fitted pretty well just had to figure out to loosen and tighten. The shoe worked well with a thin feather sock. MX socks are a little thicker whereas the foot going in May have difficulty. I tried pedalling with these on with my downhill bike and my 27.5 plus bike without any problems. I have ALWAYS wanted something like this. Also pedalling with an ebike you may have more slippage on the pedals.

Great construction, poor design....

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

Really well made boot. However, like most every other cool/cold weather mountain biking shoe I've tried (and have tried many) the toe box is too small. A roomy toe box is the number one requirement to keep toes warm. Cycling shoe makers rarely address this. Maybe because a roomy toe box makes the shoe look bulky and a bit odd. (Face it, grown men with goofy helmets riding fancy bikes in the woods - we already look real silly. Might as well have warm toes.). Yeah, Lake makes a warmer shoe - I had it... the toe box was too tight. Sized up, and the shoe fit perfectly with a thick sock everywhere... except, you got it, the toe box. The only cool/cold weather shoe I've had that addressed the roomy toe box issue was an older style Specialized Defroster. Mine are still going strong. Its the lightest, toughest, simplest, cheapest cool/cold shoe I bought. Its a classic case of a great, simple, well thought out design, and very good construction. Ever wear a good hunting boot or real cold weather boot, like a pac boot - they all have one thing in common - a roomy toe box. Thanks Backcountry for letting me try on this shoe and return it. Maybe pass this on to Lake. Its obvious they are trying to make a good product. Their construction appears top notch. Maybe they'll listen. MJ
