The latest version of Lake's most popular gravel shoe: the MX239 Gravel

The Lake MX239 Gravel is the latest version of Lake's most popular gravel shoe. This Black and Gold colorway uses a recycled leather and mesh upper with Helcor abrasion-resistant leather panels and an Outlast temperature-regulating heel lining, part of what Lake calls its commitment to sustainability. A fiberglass-reinforced internal heel counter creates a more stable heel hold, and more spacing between the two BOA Li2 dials gives greater zone adjustment to the forefoot area.

Underfoot, the Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole pairs with a Mountain Race X real rubber sole for a stable off-road shoe, with extended toe protection and the option to fit lugs to the forefoot area of the sole. Built on the MX Competition last with a larger toe box and tighter heel cup, it runs a 2-bolt SPD pattern compatible with SPD, Time ATAC, and Crankbrothers cleats. This is the Regular width, and the gravel build runs less rubber than the MTB MX239 for lighter weight and a bit more flex.

What is the difference between the MX239 and the MX239 Gravel?

The gravel version runs less rubber coverage on the outsole for lighter weight and a touch more flexibility, which suits gravel and mixed terrain. The MTB version carries fuller rubber tread for grip and durability on technical trails. This is the Gravel build.

What sole does the MX239 Gravel use?

It uses the Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole paired with a Mountain Race X real rubber sole, with extended protection for the toe area. Lake says it provides stability for the feet on all types of technical terrain, however loose. You can also fit lugs to the forefoot area of the sole.

Is the MX239 Gravel SPD compatible?

Yes. It uses a 2-bolt cleat pattern compatible with Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, and Crankbrothers systems. Lake notes that spring binder pedals such as Crank Brothers and Time must use the shoe shield or shims supplied by the pedal maker to protect the sole.
