Lake's flagship road shoe built for feet that other shoes fail.

The Lake CX242 is the culmination of Lake Cycling's decades of shoe-making experience, built specifically for riders with feet that don't fit standard road shoes. The HeatFit moldable upper is constructed across six separated panels that can be heat-activated to reshape around your exact foot anatomy. High insteps, wide forefronts, bunions, deformities, narrow or wide feet all find a truly custom fit without custom shoe pricing. NuFoam padding and pressure relief cutouts ensure bunions and sensitive spots are never compressed. Carbitex carbon fiber panels stabilize the closure system without adding bulk or hard edges. The full carbon outsole delivers elite-level stiffness and power transfer for competitive road racing and high-volume training. Two BOA Li2 Dual Dial Closures let you independently manage forefoot and instep tension for a locked-in fit that stays consistent through long rides and hard efforts. Built on Lake's Competition last with increased toe pitch and heel lift, a tighter heel, and a slightly wider ball girth to accommodate foot expansion under pedaling pressure.

The CX242 Regular fits standard road last sizing. Use Lake's Fit Tools at lakecycling.com before ordering to confirm your correct size.

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.

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).
