What is the Lake MX178 Wide Black/Black Microfiber built for?

The Lake Cycling MX178 Wide in Black/Black Microfiber pairs Lake's Sport Comfort Last with an off-road sole system for gravel, trail, commuting, touring, and everyday riding. The last gives a broader, less tapered forefoot for natural toe splay, and a single micro-adjustable BOA L6 dial handles the fit. This Black/Black Microfiber colorway uses a black microfiber upper. It is built for longer rides and mixed terrain.

Underfoot, a fiberglass-injected nylon midsole gives controlled flex, and the Lake Enduro sole system adds durable TPU lugs for traction off pavement. The 2-bolt cleat interface works with common MTB and gravel pedal systems. This listing is the Wide width, so use the Lake fit tool on this page to check your size and width before ordering.
