Description
Lake make cycling shoes around the shape of your foot rather than a single average. Most road models come in more than one width, and we can order any current Lake shoe in any size and width from Lake UK. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, come in and try a pair on first.
Lake on the CX178
The all-new CX178 delivers modern performance with an emphasis on anatomical efficiency and everyday comfort. Built on a redesigned last featuring a broader toe box, it supports natural toe splay and reduces compression for improved stability, alignment, and long-distance comfort. Combined with Lake’s proven nylon composite sole and a lightweight microfiber upper, the CX178 balances adjustability, breathability, and durability, making it a versatile option for both casual and competitive riders.
- A versatile road shoe for training, endurance, and everyday riding
- Secure midfoot support with a more accommodating forefoot shape
- Durable, low-maintenance construction with controlled flex underfoot
Fit and build
Fit: Secure through the midfoot and heel, with more natural toe alignment up front. The Sport Comfort Last gives riders added forefoot room and straighter toe positioning while keeping a stable road feel.
Upper: Durable microfiber [Non-Leather] construction supports a clean, low- maintenance upper with consistent fit retention. The pattern works with the Sport Comfort Last to add usable forefoot room while maintaining secure midfoot and heel support.
Sole: Lake’s nylon composite road sole provides efficient pedaling support with controlled flex for all-day comfort. Extended cleat rail adjustment allows riders to fine-tune cleat position, while sole ventilation channels improve airflow and oversized heel and toe pads add off-bike traction and durability.
Closure: A single BOA® L6 dial provides fast, micro- adjustable tension across the midfoot. The system ensures even pressure distribution and quick entry/exit while keeping weight low.
