FAQ

Who is the MX242 Wide for?

The Wide build runs the MX Competition last with genuine extra room in the toe box and forefoot volume, for riders with broader feet who want Lake's flagship MTB shoe and its adaptive fit. If standard MTB shoes feel tight across the ball of your foot, choose the Wide.

How does the MX242 mold to my foot?

Two ways. The segmented six-zone upper is built from independent panels that conform around the contours of your foot as you ride and cinch the dials, so pressure spreads evenly with no single tight band. Separately, the heel counter is heat-moldable: a shop can warm it to set a precise, locked-in heel shape. The upper panels themselves are not heat-molded; the adaptive fit comes from the zoned construction, and the heat molding is specific to the heel.

What sole and cleats does the MX242 use?

A Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber sole with a Mountain Competition real rubber tread for grip and protection off the bike. It runs a 2-bolt SPD pattern compatible with Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, and Crankbrothers cleats.
