What is the Lake CX178 Wide built for?

The Lake Cycling CX178 Wide in Black/Silver sits on Lake's all-new Sport Comfort Last, redesigned with a broader toe box and stable forefoot platform. Lake says it promotes natural toe splay, and its CX178 fit notes describe a forward toe shape designed for straighter toe alignment and additional toe space. The stretch-resistant microfiber upper carries precision cut ventilation ports along the forefoot and midfoot, so air moves through without the upper losing its structure. A single BOA L6 dial gives fast, micro-adjustable tension across the midfoot and quick entry and exit.

Underfoot sits Lake's 60K force nylon composite sole. Lake says it provides efficient power transfer with controlled flex for all-day comfort, and oversized heel and toe walking pads increase traction and durability off the bike.
