MXZ21 Wide Mountain Bike Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"As someone with wider feet, I was relieved to find the MXZ21 Wide didn’t feel cramped but still locked me in securely for aggressive trail riding. The outsole has excellent grip for technical hike-a-bike sections, and the shoe stays impressively warm without feeling bulky. It’s become my go-to for winter mountain biking."

The MXZ21 Wide Mountain Bike Shoe is built for riders who demand a performance fit with extra room for wider feet, all while tackling cold and unpredictable trail conditions. Designed on Lake’s MX Sport wide last, it maintains secure heel control and midfoot stability while opening up the toe box for lasting comfort on long, demanding rides.

The shoe’s 100% carbon Competition midsole ensures efficient power transfer during climbs and sprints, while the Mountain Competition rubber outsole with oversized tread blocks delivers dependable grip on icy rocks, slick roots, and muddy hike-a-bike sections. This balance of stiffness and traction makes it a trusted tool for riders pushing through winter’s toughest conditions.

A soft-shell upper reinforced with Clarino microfiber and a seam-taped membrane creates a barrier against wind and water, and the DWR treatment helps shed mud and slush. The speed-lace closure system is designed for quick, precise adjustments—even with winter gloves—so you can stay focused on the trail ahead. With insulation rated down to 25°F/-4°C, the MXZ21 Wide ensures that winter mountain biking doesn’t end with the first snowfall.
