Built for hard-to-fit feet: the Lake CX242 Wide White/Black

Lake built the CX242 to be the best fitting solution for hard-to-fit foot types, and this listing is the Wide width. Its defining feature is a segmented six-zone upper: rather than one continuous closure path, support spreads across six independent zones, and the separated panels allow for fine-tuning the fit, relieving pressure from sensitive and painful spots. The upper has a NuFoam lining with carbon fiber support panels, and Carbitex support panels add support to enhance the closure. A heat-moldable heel counter doubles the heel hold for a secure fit

Underneath sits a Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole, on a 3-hole cleat pattern for Shimano 3-hole road or Time ICLIC cleats. BOA Li2 dials offer a precise, micro-adjustable fit in both directions and are designed to resist abrasion. This is the Wide width.

Who is the CX242 built for?

Lake built the CX242 as the best fitting solution for hard-to-fit foot types. Its segmented upper accommodates bunions, deformation, narrow or wide feet, and a high or low instep. This listing is the Wide width.

How is the CX242 different from the CX239?

The CX242 uses a segmented six-zone upper instead of the CX239's continuous one-piece closure. Support is spread across independent panels, which reduces pressure across the instep and adapts to sensitive pressure zones. That makes it more adaptable for difficult feet, though less aggressively locked-in across the top than the CX239. Both use a Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole and BOA Li2 dials.

How does the CX242 mold to my foot?

Two ways. The separated upper panels allow for fine-tuning the fit around your foot. The heel counter is also heat-moldable, and it doubles the heel hold for a secure fit.

The shoes are (cough) widely available and widely positively reviewed, which is also my view. Five stars for the shoes but really I am submitting this review to give Dialed a five star review for quick shipping and friendly customer service.
