When you have a passion for cycling as they do at Lake, it translates to a life long passion. It’s in our blood, they are devoted to cycling. They have spent hours riding in the trenches, enduring the pain and have graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks. They have studied the shape of thousands of feet pedaling billions of circles. Designed and proven to be the most comfortable shoe in the peloton. You will not want to replace your worn out shoes, we hope you’ll want to just buy another pair from Lake.
Born in Evanston Illinois in 1982, Lake quickly became a household name for cycling shoes. As the sport grew in North America, so did the versatility and demand for more styles. The MXZ303 (winter boot) was created because of a very cold climate that hit Lake’s headquarters every year, the shores of Lake Michigan, where temperatures are quite possibly the coldest in North America. Many other innovative designs have come from Lake’s shoe collections over the years. More recently Lake was the first to design and produce the MX 331 Cyclocross specific model and today it remains the “holy grail” of cyclocross shoes.
Our pride has grown out of a simple fact, that they are first to market with many if not most new developments in cycling shoes. Unlike most companies in the marketplace, they haven’t been distracted by entering into different cycling product categories, Lake has remained true to their core value and that is to produce the best fitting, highest quality cycling shoe on the market.
Lake's TX AIR features an enlarged toe mesh window for added air flow over the standard model.
CX/TX Competition Last – With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure, our Competition last features a more curved profile than the Sport last. The main differences include increased toe pitch & heel lift, a tighter heel & a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.
