FAQ

How does the Lake MX242 fit hard-to-fit feet?

The Lake MX242 uses a segmented upper of six independent leather zones, so support is distributed across separate panels rather than one continuous closure path. Each panel wraps the foot on its own, accommodating bunions, bony prominences, high insteps, and wide forefeet that would cause pressure in a one-piece upper. A heat-moldable heel counter further customizes the heel hold. This Helcor Bio Camo colorway uses Lake's durable Helcor abrasion-resistant leather throughout.

Is the Lake MX242 SPD compatible?

Yes. The Lake MX242 uses a 2-bolt cleat pattern compatible with Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, and Crankbrothers systems, with a real rubber Mountain Competition outsole for grip and protection on hike-a-bike.

Can I add toe spikes to the Lake MX242?

Yes. The Lake MX242 accepts replaceable toe spikes, sold separately, for grip in mud, snow, and ice. We stock the Lake toe spike kit at the shop.
