TX224

The TX224 is an industry first to offer the same model in 3 distinct last shapes and widths. We know how individual you are, and we wanted to ensure that whatever your foot shape, Lake has the fit for you as a triathlete. For Narrow volume feet the Race Last is the correct choice, Mid-size feet the Competition Last and for larger volume feet or barefoot shoe fans the Comfort Plus Last is the perfect solution. 

CX/TX RACE Last – (Narrow Width) Featuring a slightly narrower toe box and a tighter heel, with a firmer grip than the Lake Competition last, and less overall volume than our Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding, with a slimmer and stylish performance fit.

CX/TX Competition Last – (Regular Width) 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.

CX/TX Comfort Plus Last – (Wide Width) The Comfort Plus last has the most generous forefoot platform of all of our CX/TX lasts. This last will accommodate a multitude of foot shapes and allow for toe splaying. Made for those riders who struggle to find an unrestricted shoe for the shape of their feet.

Using our Lake Carbon Fiber Soles with replaceable heel pads to maximize performance while maintaining the lightest possible shoe. Available in a 3-hole cleat pattern. 

Narrow Width: Lake Race 100% Carbon Fiber Sole

Regular Width: Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole

Wide Width: Lake Comfort Plus Carbon Composite Sole

The TX224 has a Clarino Microfiber upper with NuFoam™ breathable, wicking shell with Trek-Dry antimicrobial liner and a heel-side mounted elastic rubber band holder for setting the shoe up for fast transitions. NuFoam’s unique design works in a way that keeps your foot feeling cool and dry.  

Utilizing a single hook & loop strap with speed laces, the TX224 has a speed lace draw-string lace system, which is quick and easy to secure, and wraps the foot neatly in race mode with the added benefit of the Velcro strapping. It gives the athlete a micro-adjustable fit, along with maximum impact protection and durability. It can be easily adjusted prior to the event, so that the shoe slips easily on and can be secured with speed.
