FAQ

How is the CX238 different from the CX239?: The CX238 is the prior generation of Lake's best-selling road shoe. The CX239 adds an integrated tongue fused to the medial upper panel for firmer foot hold, a fiberglass-reinforced heel counter for better stability, and greater BOA dial spacing for independent zone adjustment. The CX238 remains an excellent shoe and is often available at reduced pricing as current stock.

What does the Competition last mean?: Lake's Competition last has a wider toe box, tighter heel, and extra ball girth volume compared to the Race last. It accommodates foot expansion under high pedaling pressure and works well for riders with wider-than-average forefeet.

What cleats does the CX238 use?: The CX238 uses standard 3-bolt road cleat mounting (Shimano SPD-SL, Look, and compatible systems).
