A roomier, more natural road fit in a wide last: the CX178 Wide

The Lake CX178 Wide is the 2026 evolution of the popular CX177, rebuilt around an all-new Sport Comfort last that opens a broader toe box and supports natural toe splay, with this Wide build adding extra forefoot and toe-box volume for wider or higher-volume feet. The stretch-resistant microfiber upper has precision-cut ventilation ports along the forefoot and midfoot for airflow, and an integrated tongue spreads pressure evenly across the foot. A single BOA L6 dial delivers fast, micro-adjustable tension and a glove-like hold, with the heel cup carried over from the trusted CX177.

Underfoot, a 60K force nylon composite sole gives efficient power transfer with controlled flex, the comfortable, walkable feel Lake's nylon soles are known for, tuned for all-day riding rather than pure race stiffness. It adds 9mm of toe-to-heel cleat rail adjustability with extended midfoot positioning for precise cleat placement, plus oversized heel and toe walking pads for traction off the bike. It runs a 3-bolt road pattern for Shimano SPD-SL, Look, and compatible pedals. This is the Wide width in White and Black, the CX178 for riders who find standard road shoes tight across the ball of the foot.

FAQ

Who is the CX178 Wide for?

The Wide build adds forefoot and toe-box volume on top of the already roomy Sport Comfort last, for riders with wider or higher-volume feet. It keeps the same secure heel hold while giving the front of the foot real room. If standard road shoes pinch across the ball or crowd your toes, this is the fit to try.

Does the CX178 use a carbon sole?

No. The CX178 uses Lake's 60K force nylon composite sole, a stiff yet lightweight construction with controlled flex tuned for efficient power transfer and all-day comfort. It is the comfort-forward, walkable feel Lake's nylon soles are known for, a different ride than a stiff race-carbon plate. The outsole also adds 9mm of cleat rail adjustability and oversized walking pads.

How is the CX178 different from the CX177?

The CX178 is the 2026 successor to the CX177. It keeps the proven nylon-composite sole approach and single BOA L6 but introduces the new Sport Comfort last with a broader toe box and more natural toe alignment, plus a reworked outsole with 9mm of cleat adjustability. The heel cup carries over from the CX177.

Sizing Chart

Lake shoes run in EU sizing across an unusually broad size and width range. The CX178 is built on a first-toe-longer last shape, so if your second toe is longer, consider adding roughly 7 to 10 mm to your measured size. Use Lake's Fit Tools at lakecycling.com to confirm your EU size and the right width. This listing is the Wide width.

Best For

Road and endurance riders who want a roomier, natural-toe-splay fit and a comfortable, walkable nylon sole for long days and all-day riding, without paying the flagship carbon price.
