Flagship off-road fit for the widest, hardest-to-fit feet: the Lake MX242 Wide

The Lake MX242 Wide is Lake's answer for off-road riders who need genuine room and still want flagship performance. Its upper is built from six independent leather zones, Helcor abrasion-resistant leather and Ecco full-grain leather over a lightweight NuFoam lining, so each panel wraps your foot on its own and spreads pressure away from bunions, bony spots, high insteps, and broad forefeet. Pairing that with a dedicated wide MX Competition last means real room before the panels even conform. A heat-moldable heel counter lets a fitter lock in the heel, and a Carbitex carbon fiber stabilizer keeps the structure solid without hard edges. Two BOA Li2 dials handle closure with micro-adjustment in both directions.

Underfoot, the Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole delivers stiff, efficient power transfer while the Mountain Competition real rubber tread extends across the sole for grip and stability when you are off the bike. The wide MX Competition last gives a larger toe box to prevent binding on steep climbs and a tighter heel for a planted feel, and the 2-bolt pattern works with SPD, Time ATAC, and Crankbrothers cleats. This is the Wide in Black and Silver, and it accepts toe spikes for the worst conditions. If your feet have outgrown every other mountain shoe, start here.

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.

Sizing Chart

Lake shoes run in EU sizing across an unusually broad size and width range. Use Lake's Fit Tools at lakecycling.com to confirm your EU size and whether Regular or Wide suits your foot. This listing is the Wide width.

Best For

Cross-country, gravel, and endurance riders with genuinely wide or hard-to-fit feet who want flagship carbon stiffness off-road and need real forefoot room without hot spots.

New shoes? Read the cleat installation guide before you fit them. Getting the clearance wrong is what voids sole warranties.
