Lake CX238

Product details
Building on the CX237, Lake has improved performance and durability with its favorite for high-cadence rides, the Lake CX238 road shoe. Designed for a better and more comfortable fit, the Competition last increases toe pitch and heel lift, allowing the foot to expand under high pedaling pressure. Supporting the shoe, the Race carbon fiber sole from Lake offers impressive stiffness and power transfer while remaining lightweight. To protect the shoe from premature wear, the full-grain leather upper features a heel panel and a rubber toe bumper, as well as mesh panels for adequate ventilation.
Designed for high-pressure rides, the wider forefoot of the Lake CX238 provides the necessary relief to focus on the road ahead. With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence pedaling and higher pressure, the Competition shape has a more curved profile than the Sport shape. The main differences include increased toe pitch and heel lift, a tighter heel, and a slightly wider fit at the forefoot to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.
The shoe features a 100% carbon fiber sole with a Lake Competition design, available with a 3-hole cleat pattern. It is made from high-quality, water-resistant full-grain leather or Clarino microfiber and has an Outlast heel lining. The Helcor heel panel and rubber toe bumper protect the upper from scuffs and scratches. The Outlast temperature-regulating heel and tongue lining provides a luxurious feel to the foot while maintaining breathability, durability, and a secure grip.
The BOA® Fit System Li2 dials offer precise and micro-adjustable fit in both directions and are designed to withstand abrasion.
