Specifications

Description

The CX239 is the latest version of our most popular road cycling shoe. This new evolution comes with an integrated tongue to the medial panel of the upper for a firmer foot hold, ensuring that power is maximized into forward momentum through improved stability.  

It also has a fiberglass reinforced internal heel counter, creating a more stable heel hold, and has more spacing between the two BOA® dials to give greater zone adjustment to the forefoot area. It takes one of our favorite cycling shoes to a whole new level of comfort, fit and performance, with modern styling as standard. 

Last

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 Competition Last features a larger toe box and a tighter heel cup than the Comfort Plus Last and comes with slightly more overall volume than our Sport Last. It’s an exceptionally secure cycling shoe, while having a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.

Outsole

Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole. Available in 3-hole cleat pattern. This allows for greater cleat positioning, ensuring effective pedaling action and improved rider comfort. Our 100% carbon fiber sole creates a comfortable, lightweight, stylish, and high-performance cycling shoe that’s built for performance and comfort in equal measure.   

Lining

Our latest high-performance road cycling shoe comes with a choice of either a full-grain water resistant and breathable Ecco Premium leather or a Clarino Microfiber and mesh with Outlast heel lining.  

The upper is stylishly modern and sleek, has minimal stitching and is form fitting to give you a glove like feel that over time creates a perfect match to your foot. The protective heel panel and rubber toe bumper help protect the upper from those regular scuffs and scratches. It also has an Outlast temperature regulating heel, maintaining a breathable, durable & firm grip to your foot, alongside a tongue lining for extra comfort when the shoe is adjusted with the BOA® closure system.  

Closure

BOA® Fit System Li2 Dials. The Li2 dial is the most advanced platform in cycling, offering a precise and micro-adjustable fit in both directions and designed to resist abrasion.

Closure and comfort come down to several details, which is why here at Lake, we take time to design cycling shoes that we believe to have the best comfort and closure systems available. The dual BOA® fit system on the CX239 has wider spacing than previous models, allowing for greater adjustability, especially in the forefoot area. It gives increased comfort and stability across the whole foot. The new Lake CX239 is a high-performance cycling shoe that will give you the security, stability and confidence to ride all day long, in our legendary Lake comfort.
