I rode for years with the LAKE CX217 because of the fit and comfort due to the wider foot bed that LAKE offers. All other brands run too narrow for my foot. I replaced the CX217 in July 2021 with the CX218 and found these shoes to fit perfectly, as well. Great value.

I?ve been wearing the wrong shoe!

- I've put it through the wringer
My first pair of road shoes were an entry pair of Shimano shoes. Nothing fancy. They were a good starter pair to get used to riding with clipless pedals. However, as I got more into riding, I noticed that they were painfully uncomfortable and I was developing hot spots. I then tried the Fizik R4. They were a solid pair of shoes, but last about 5,000 moles. Thank he upper was completely shot. I also found on 75+ mile rides that my feet would really become fatigued. I decided to give Lake shoes a try given that they kept coming up as a recommended brand on multiple Reddit discussions. James/Francis Cade also go on and on about how much they like this brand. I now have a few hundred miles on this pair, and I can?t get over how comfortable this road shoe is. The solid carbon sole is incredibly stiff. I always assumed a carbon reinforced sole was enough, but there is a noticeable difference. I also find that the shoe hugs my foot and it feels fitter appropriately in the arch. The toe box is narrower than I noticed from the other shoes I mentioned. But again, it feels more like It just fits. I no longer have any hot spots, discomfort or issues with my feet. I finally acknowledge that I have been wearing the wrong shoes for years. I do really recommend measuring your foot and using Lake?s sizing guide and information on their website. In the Shimano and Fizik shoes, I was a 44. I am a 44.5 in Lakes (10.5 US). I was a little nervous at first that they would be too big, but was glad I trusted their fit system.
