Whether sprinting or climbing, the CX238 keeps us focused on the road ahead.

Great for my wide feet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Men’s black 46.5 Wide
I was getting toe blisters due to the toe box on my supposedly “wide” Specialized shoes. Tried everything to fix it but eventually bought these shoes when I could barely walk without pain. Lake for the win! Blisters are gone!

Wonderful Shoes
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- 43

Purchased the Blk on Wht (wide fit) size 43, should have gotten 42.5. The wide model runs a bit large (just under 1/2 size). Very comfortable, extremely roomy, flexible, light & did I mention comfy? Love these shoes, will continue to use UFN.

Runs Small, Hope Next One Works!
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- 42
According to the size chart, I should take a 41.5 in length. Tried a CX242 and had to limp to even walk in them. No larger sizes in stock here or directly at Lake. (Insider tip: Get shoes from a store or on line. Lake delayed my shipment 8 days until I emailed: they didn’t have in stock, but they were available to order(?). Pick another color in stock in the US. Waited 9 days - no shipment. Emailed about ship date and was ghosted for a week & 1/2, until shoes showed up at my door.) Went up 1/2 size in the CX238 and now wide enough but apparently I have TTS (or tall toe syndrome) - joking, not a real medical thing, because top of big toe constantly rubs on the upper. Now trying another 1/2 size larger for, hopefully, more forefoot volume. Seem like great shoes if I can perfect the fit!

Painfully uncomfortable

- Nov 2024
No matter where you position the cleat on the shoes, you will feel the specific position pressure of the cleat through the sole. Never experienced this with any of my other shoes. There is almost zero pressure distribution through the sole.

High Quality Shoe

Just received these today. Wow, very impressed with the quality of materals, design, and construction. The fit is perfect. I purchased the white in 42.5. I have learned that I absolutely must buy only wide option shoes. My feet are more square shaped than the normal tapered foot, and these fit so well, are so comfortable. I can tell by the quality that they will last a long long time.

Very Comfortable

By far the most comfortable cycling shoes I’ve had. I’m normally a size 13 US wide or extra which is usually a 47 EU, but ended up with size 48 EU with this shoe. I have a wide foot but also oddly shaped where I experience pressure along the outside of the big toe pushing up against the toe box. With these shoes that does not happen. I cycle in hot humid conditions in FL with no issues. These are my first shoes with double BOA and really like the flexibility they provide for tightening. Will be getting a second pair and hope Lake keeps making these and adding different color options.

Wide heel did not work for me
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Got a pair of these with great anticipation of the wide fit helping my crushed toes. Immediately had an issue. The heel is also wide. I got heel strike on the crank arms every revolution. I even tried moving the cleats all the way to inside to accommodate and no dice. Never had this with any shoes before. Had to return them.

Not the best for heavy sweaters

- 46.5
- Height:

Had a Shimano RC7 size 46 before this shoe which was just to tight, think 46.5 would have been just right So with that in mind I bought this shoe 46.5 which was a bit to big, so I think a 46 would have been perfect fit for me in the Lake Brand I know now for future reference what size to buy in these brands I have used this shoe I while now and I'm not pleased with the quality of the material. I sweat a lot, so when I'm done with a workout shoes are all wet. After about 6 months or so the material started cracking and breaking. The Shimano I used it for about 2 years and that did not happen. So sizing was e trail and error on me, but I was very disappointed in the quality Not the best shoes if you sweat a lot

So I have been dealing with a sore right foot after riding. I have been fitted twice to the bike and I have gone through 3 pairs of shoes. I finally ponied up and bought CX238 after a lot of research and recommendations given to me. I have to say these feel so comfortable. I have zero pain or discomfort and they feel so light and none existent on my rides. I will be buying these again when needed. Can't believe I have been suffering for no reason.
