    There's also Reflective Silver/Black on CX241

    Just as a note they did price jack.

    For example, all the non-half size reflective CX241 were circa $136 this morning.

    30% off brings it to $130 which is lower, but still, they price jacked.

    Also note that the black or white ones are marked as Clearance so you can't return/exchange unless faulty, whereas the Reflective ones are not marked as Clearance.

      FWIW
      These are terrific cycling shoes, have used them for the past 10 years and they haven't skipped a beat.

      • Musiclover on 20/12/2022 - 14:11

        Sure, people took it as an attack at their favourite brand, and downvoted my opinion out of sight.
        I don't argue that the value of the shoes listed above isn't bad.
        I have tried about half a dozen different brands and Lake are just not up there in comparison to some others. I have to add "for me" this is just my personal opinion and my priorities. A bit like Bont, I would call lake a "niche shoe" - a shoe not for everone. Both in terms of design and performance. But, that's not to say they are bad. Only in comparison.

        • Tgb on 20/12/2022 - 22:09

          Out of curiosity, what brands do you consider best? Ive only ever ridden with Shimano shoes - The RC7 series, and have found them great.

          • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 22:38

            @Tgb: Shimano are decent quality but if the fit doesnt suit, the quality doesnt really matter. i did have 1 pair of shimano's that were rubbish as the sole had a strange shape. Diadora quality seemed a bit lower than the others i've tried and i recently pulled them out from storage and the carbon soles pulled right off as the glue had deteriorated which hasnt happened on shoes i've had for longer and used more.

          • Musiclover on 21/12/2022 - 00:16

            @Tgb: First of all I only get top of the range road ones.
            I consider Shimano RC903 the best currently.

            I also think that Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2 and Sidi Wire 2 and Shot 2 are great.

            Specialized is excellent but supply to Australia is somewhat limited.

            Giro is very good (some models).

            Brands like Gaerne and Chrono are good but they have some design flaws.

            Bont and Lake are below all of that.

        • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 22:33

          I don't think Lake are any better either and the shape didnt suit me even though i am wider than normal. I have used Shimano, Diadora, Nike, DMT and Specialized and have a pair of Bont's arriving soon. Nike were probably the best fitting but they have been discontinued for a long time

    These are an amazing price. Kicking myself (with my Lakes) for buying last time.

    I would say Lake is better than Bont for my feet. (The tongue on the Bont digs into my leg and the carbon sole has raised sides for some odd reason, which caused rubbing and eventually a callus.)

    I wouldn't say I have wide feet, but the Lake shoes, which have a wider fit than other brands, are the most comfortable shoes I've had - the other brands I've had are DHB, Shimano and Bont.

    Cycling shoes should default to wide sizing in my opinion. I'm not a podiatrist, but thinking logically about the mechanics of the movement, you're exerting downward pressure on your feet during every pedal stroke, which makes your feet wider during that movement. Multiply that pressure by thousands of pedal strokes for each foot and you can imagine it's gets quite uncomfortable in a standard shoe width after a while.

    • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 14:34

      Did you buy the wide versions or normal?

      • Rkel403 on 20/12/2022 - 18:06

        I used the measuring guide from the lake website, measures both length and width.

        Per the guide, use the measurements of your largest foot, add 5mm. The find your appropriate shoes size length on their matrix, then work across the page to find a shoe with a width to accommodate your width measurement.

        Mine fit like a glove, with enough room for feet to widen during the ride but not so much that feet are moving around in the shoe

        • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 18:15

          I asked because i was curious if they were comparing wider versions or standard. Nothing to do with finding a size.

    • Drakesy on 20/12/2022 - 15:50

      Completely agree,
      Started with Lake CX237's for their wide fit and the went brilliantly
      jumped to some bonts and even with the custom fit moulding the raised carbon sides were just frustrating (have slightly wider feet)
      Went back to some CX332's and the fit is better than ever.

      Couldn’t agree more. It’s hard to believe how many poorly built expensive bike shoes are out there, lack of wide fits, or even basic info on the forefoot width of cycling shoes online.
      I was cycling for years with standard width shoes. These felt like they fit fine and were measured correctly, no rubbing or tight fit when I started each ride. Couldn’t figure why my feet were going numb after 1.5hrs on the saddle. Two bike fits and countless fruitless visits to the “bike physio” later I came across Francis Cade’s videos on YouTube.
      Took an expensive $500 gamble and bought wide fit cx403 per his recommendations and haven’t looked back. The issue I have is the extent that my forefoot flattens throughout the ride ( have space in the shoe at the start of the ride, foot flattens, no more room, cuts off blood flow = numbness). This is supposedly more common than not..
      Anyway, I have the shoes more than two years and ride 3-5 times per week. Shoes still in great shape. Real leather expands with your foot while carbon straps provide support where required. Adjustable heel mould may be seen as a bit of a gimmick but I found it useful. Extremely stiff carbon sole also fantastic

      • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 18:12

        Did you ever try a podiatrist and have orthotics to help with the flattening?

        • Rkel403 on 20/12/2022 - 19:13

          Sure have, currently have metatarsal button and orthotics in the cycling shoe.
          I had a chronic ankle injury 7 years ago and was walking on it misdiagnosed by a “professional” for 2 years making matter’s substantially worse, osteoarthritis is for life. Two ankle surgeries and about $15k of Physio, podiatrist, osteopath, sports doctors, PRP, cortisone later im still throwing the kitchen sink at it. For me, custom podiatrist inserts made little difference.

          • 8azinga on 20/12/2022 - 22:00

            @Rkel403: Might not have gone to a podiatrist that understands cycling issues or knows how to make orthotics for cycling shoes as they are not flat like normal shoes. It's not normal to need space in the shoe to start the ride to compensate for flattening so it does sound like you are compensating for a foot issue with extra width. Everybody's feet will widen under load to some degree and feet swell a little when hot but usually not enough to need to have space like that. Once the load is removed though, it should return back to non flattened narrower state which doesn't sound like it happens for you.

        I was getting regular pins and needles at the sides of my feet, often only after an hour on the MTB but could end up lasting for weeks on end. I went to a podiatrist that specialises in cycling orthotics, and those combined with his recommended lake shoes eliminated it pretty quickly. The wallet sure was lighter after that exercise, but worth it. I use the MX241's (unfortunately not on sale here), and while a bit heavier than your normal shoe, they are designed to adapt to pretty weird shaped feet (my particular problem). Had them for a about a year now and they've seen regular riding, XC, CX and Enduro races and still holding up strong. Highly recommend.

  • nandystam on 20/12/2022 - 13:41

    I've heard good things about Lake shoes, if there's a size that fits you get on it.

  • jabbawokie on 20/12/2022 - 14:01

    I've done 18,000km on my current CX241 in the last two years on an indoor trainer and they are still like new - unbelievable I know but true. Apparently they're made from Kangaroo hide. I have a wide foot and at the time there was no wide 41 in stock anywhere in Australia so I have to buy them from England at an eye watering price of $430AUD … I just bought a spare pair of reflective CX241 for $130 so really happy.

    • Major Clod on 20/12/2022 - 19:34

      I run the MX241 (same shoe but off road version) and I can't praise them enough. Wish they were on sale here!

  • moabboy on 20/12/2022 - 15:26

    Of course my size isn't one of the mega cheap ones, but happy to grab another pair for a price significantly below RRP.

  • phandrew on 20/12/2022 - 15:40

    For buyers who haven't owned Lake shoes before, they size up a little large.

    I'm usually a 44, in Lake's I'm a 45.5. The printable sizing guide is pretty accurate.

    Also, while they do Wide fit, wide Lake's are super-wide. Even the 'normal' fit are a little wider than the Giro/Shimano/NW equivalent.

    And yes, they are like slipper. The most comfortable cycling shoes I've ever owned. I have two spare pairs of 301's from the last sale stashed in the wardrobe! Probably 10 years worth of cycling shoes for $320.

    • moabboy on 20/12/2022 - 17:52

      Don't leave them too long. I had a pair of CX331s that I recently pulled out of the cupboard. After a few months, the glue that held on the Boa mechanism had perished and they came loose (didn't completely come off). Luckily they were easy enough to glue back on have have been going strong ever since.

  • blitz on 21/12/2022 - 02:47

    My Lake shoes have been great. I also have had Sidi, Shimano, Bontrager and Louis Garneau, so I have something to compare them against.

  • johnthepg on 21/12/2022 - 15:33

    Out of the Lake shoes, which would you recommend? I'm after one with the best carbon sole to not lose any power and one that won't give any heel slippage.

    I'm currently wearing some mavic's with single boa and I'm always finding myself redoing the boa to tighten it. I normally notice I need to retighten because my heel is slipping out ever so slightly.

  • ThisIsAUsername on 21/12/2022 - 17:36

    ugh! Looks like i'm getting some a pair of cycling shoes for xmas.

    I highly highly highly rate the CX301 :)
