FAQ

Which width should I choose in the TX224?

The Wide is built on Lake's CX/TX Comfort Plus Last, which has the most generous forefoot platform in the CX/TX lineup and allows for natural toe splay. It is the right pick for wide or high-volume feet, or for riders who prefer a barefoot-style fit. If you have medium-volume feet, the Regular (Competition Last) is the balanced choice. If you have low-volume narrow feet, the Narrow (Race Last) fits best.

How does the Wide sole differ from the Narrow and Regular?

The Wide uses Lake's Comfort Plus Carbon Composite sole, while the Narrow and Regular use a 100 percent carbon fiber sole. The composite sole keeps the shoe light and stiff for efficient power transfer and is paired with the higher-volume Comfort Plus last for a more accommodating fit. All three widths share the same replaceable heel pads and 3-bolt cleat pattern.

What cleat system does the TX224 work with?

The TX224 uses a 3-bolt road cleat pattern, compatible with Look Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, and similar 3-bolt road systems. It is not compatible with 2-bolt mountain or gravel cleats like SPD or Crank Brothers.

Should I size up or down in the TX224 Wide?

Per Lake's published guidance, if you are between sizes or prefer additional room, consider sizing up 0.5 to 1 size. Triathletes also commonly size up slightly to account for foot swelling after the swim. Use Lake's size guide and Fit Matrix to dial in the right number for your foot length.

Sizing Chart

The TX224 is sized in EU numbers. Lake recommends measuring your foot length and consulting their size guide and Fit Matrix to select your size, then choosing the Wide last for high-volume or wide feet. If you are between sizes or want extra room for post-swim swelling, size up 0.5 to 1 size. Available in EU 36 to 50, with half sizes from 39.5 through 46.5.

Best For

Triathletes with wide or high-volume feet who want unrestricted forefoot room and natural toe splay without giving up a stiff, race-ready platform, equally at home in sockless sprint and Olympic racing or sock-paired 70.3 and Ironman efforts.
