Finding your Fit with Lake

Finding your Fit with Lake

The cycling shoe brand for all riders

Shoes are interesting – especially to us here at Lake. As we walk that path through life – or ride through – we use a variety of shoes for the many different aspects of life. Every now and then, if you’re lucky, you’ll find a brand and a particular shoe that suits your own feet and that one different aspect of how you use them – be it hiking running or biking. Yes, it’s frequently a lottery choosing shoes, and especially cycling shoes; which is why we at Lake create over 390 different shoes in terms of models and sizes.

Quite simply, whatever the length, width and volume of your own cycling feet, or the issues that you might have, such as bunions or other health related aspects, it’s very likely that a visit to one of our shoe fitting experts will fit your own perfect fit.  We’re proud of this fact and we’ve put over 40 years of dedicated research and innovation into creating one of the most complete range of cycling shoes in the world, for all riders, in all aspects of cycle sport: road cycling, off-road, MTB, gravel, triathlon and bike-packing. We have Lake cycling shoes for narrow feet, regular feet and for wide feet.

Making a lasting impression

At the heart of creating some of the most comfortable, high-performance cycling shoes in the world is the ‘Last’ – the base on which Hutch, our Chief Designer, creates each of our amazing shoe ranges. And, the reason that we’re so confident in being able to wrap your own feet in cycling shoe excellence, is that we have one of the greatest range of cycling shoe ‘lasts’ in the cycling industry. In fact, it could be said that we’re the last word in cycling shoes – and the first, of course!

Yes, because we use so many different lasts across our vast range, we'll do our best to find the perfect fit for cyclists with narrow feet, regular width feet, and especially wide feet. We’re not limited to any one aspect of cycling shoe requirements, and we can also cater from different volume – how much room that your foot takes up. Without going into too much detail, as you can read more about our shoe lasts by clicking here, we currently use the following lasts:

Comfort Plus Last
Perfect for cyclists with wider feet, giving the room that you require and find difficult to achieve with other brands. Our MX201 is a great mountain biking shoe that uses this last. For road cyclists, there’s the CX201.
Sport Last
This last features a larger, more roomy toe-box than our Comfort last, while providing increased foot control through the heel & saddle of the foot. Among the shoes using this last, is our CX/ MX177 models.
Competition Last
Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort last and with slightly more overall volume than the Sport last. Shoes using this last are the best-selling CX/ MX238 and the CX/MX242, the perfect shoe for cyclists with foot issues such as bunions.
Race Last
Featuring a slightly narrower toe box & tighter heel than the Competition last and less overall volume than the Sport last. Designed for a slimmer fit & most suitable for racing. Shoe models that uses this last, range from our CX302, CX/MX333 and the race-ready CX403, MX30G.

Of course, these are just a selection of our current lasts and current models within each last highlighted. However, what is does show, when you also consider the we produce our shoe ranges in 3 different width fittings – narrow, regular, and wide – is that Lake cycling shoes research, design and produce cycling shoes for all cyclists, and not simply for wide feet. Yes, whatever the width or volume of your own feet, you can be sure that we at Lake will do our best to wrap you in our legendary comfort and performance. We also produce ladies specific cycling shoes, because we know that ladies’ feet require – and deserve - something specific to women.

Cycling shoes with comfort, performance & style in harmony

No cyclist should focus purely on aesthetics, nor on performance. Comfort has to be the key ingredient. After all, you’re going to be wearing our cycling shoes for a long time, and riding and racing in them. They need to help you to achieve that perfect balance, as having comfortable feet will ultimately help to maximise performance. Style is important too, and we believe that our latest CX333 and MX30G cycling shoes typify how Lake achieve that perfect balance in cycling shoe design: comfort, performance and style in harmony, wrapping your feet in a second skin of cycling shoe excellence.

Lake cycling shoes have been at the forefront of cycling shoe innovation for over 40 years. Not simply looking after cyclists with wide feet – that’s a bonus. Our aim is to look after the feet of all cyclists, and to help each and every one of you to find your own perfect fit – wrapped in our legendary Lake comfort. Isn’t it time for you to ride with what we believe, the world’s best cycling shoes.
