FAQ

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

The Lake MX242 Wide pairs Lake's segmented upper of six independent leather zones with a dedicated wide last, so support is distributed across separate panels and you start with extra room across the forefoot and heel. Each panel wraps the foot on its own, accommodating bunions, bony prominences, high insteps, and broad forefeet that would cause pressure in a one-piece upper. A heat-moldable heel counter further customizes the heel hold.

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. The real rubber Mountain Competition outsole adds grip and protection for hike-a-bike.

Can I add toe spikes to the Lake MX242?

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