FAQ

What is HeatFit and how does it work?: HeatFit is Lake's heat-moldable upper technology. The CX242 uses six separated panels that heat-activate (typically via oven or heat gun by a trained fitter) so they reshape around your exact foot when worn and cooled. This accommodates bunions, high insteps, wide forefeet, and other fit challenges that standard shoes can't solve.

What is Lake's Competition last?: Lake's Competition last has increased toe pitch and heel lift, a tighter heel, and a slightly wider ball girth. It's designed to accommodate foot expansion under high pedaling pressure and to hold the foot securely through long rides.

Is there a Wide version of this shoe?: Yes, this is the Regular width. The CX242 is also available in a Wide version built on a wide Competition last for riders with a broader forefoot or heel.

What cleats does the CX242 use?: The CX242 uses standard 3-bolt road cleat mounting (Shimano SPD-SL, Look, and compatible systems).
