FAQ

What's new in the MX239 Gravel vs the MX238?: The MX239 is purpose-built for gravel: integrated tongue fused to the medial upper for firmer foot hold, fiberglass-reinforced heel counter for stability, and greater BOA dial spacing for independent zone adjustment. It's the latest generation of Lake's best-selling gravel shoe.

How does the carbon-composite outsole compare to full carbon?: The carbon-composite outsole is stiffer than a trail shoe for efficient power transfer but more flexible than a pure road carbon outsole, and the rubber lugs provide meaningful grip on varied surfaces including hike-a-bike sections.

Is the MX239 Gravel SPD compatible?: The MX239 Gravel uses Shimano SPD two-bolt cleat mounting, compatible with all standard SPD pedal systems used on gravel and mountain bikes.

Is there a Wide version?: Yes. The MX239 Gravel is available in both Regular and Wide fits. Both use the Competition last with the Wide version built on a broader last.
