CX421-X Wide — the wide road cycling shoe you've been looking for.
The Lake CX241-X Wide Road Shoe is a culmination of years of experience, advanced materials and shoemaking techniques to make a shoe that offers the best fitting solution for any foot type. With a heat-moldable heel counter and a uniquely designer upper that has enough adjustability to accommodate feet with any instep height or foot volume without sacrificing comfort.
The CX241 was designed for those riders with foot issues such as bunions, deformation, or wide feet who need a shoe that will not beat their feet up, giving the rider the endurance they need to stay on the bike. The upper has separated panels that allow for fine tuning the pressure and fit which also allows the upper to conform around sensitive and painful spots on the foot without the same level of constraint that is felt in traditional shoe uppers.
Features:
Pressure Relief Zones: Nufoam panels allow feet to remain comfortable and pain-free by removing pressure zones in places where feet may have bunions or deformations
80K Force Carbon Sole: Great power transfer and comfort in a lightweight and supportive sole platform
Replaceable Heel Pad made of long-lasting TPU heel pad
Heat mold the carbon heel for a more customized fit
Lightweight, water-resistant and supple natural leather provides long lasting comfort.
Dual IP1 Closure features incremental adjustment when the dial is under tension, and a pull up for quick release interface.
Split Panel Upper offers ultimate adjustability for hard to fit feet that are sensitive to pressure and constraint found in traditional shoes

Outstanding purchase for this wide-footed cyclist.
by KSottak

I purchased these shoes after researching wide-soled/high-volume cycling shoes. I'm a bigger road cyclist (6'4"/190 lbs) with a high arch and apparently wider than usual front foot, although never required wide athletic or dress shoes. However, on longer rides (75 miles or more) in hot weather, I would develop excruciating hot spots on the balls of my feet, which I learned were caused by foot swelling/nerve compression inside a too narrow and rigid cycling shoe. I have tried many brands and styles, and ultimately took to wearing a PI model that was 1.5 sizes too large to allow extra space for my foot to swell. Read a good article about shoes with wider lasts vs. "high volume" and, after reading some outstanding reviews of the Lake CX241-X, decided to give them a try. I am very pleased. They fit like a glove--no more toes wiggling/foot sliding around inside the too long, poor fitting toe box. Boa adjusters make the fit perfect, and the soles are stiff and transfer power very well. Have ridden about 2 months, most recently on a century, and they felt great the whole time. They're not cheap (the only reason I didn't rate them a higher "value"), but at 50+ years old, I've come to appreciate critical importance of the foot-shoe-pedal interface to an enjoyable cycling experience,

Great Shoe for Folks with Foot Issues
by kthuber

Lake designed these shoes specifically for people with foot issues. They are a game-changer for me. I have a bunion and hammer toe on my left foot, plus I have to wear a brace on that ankle. These are the only road shoes I have found that are comfortable.
Your foot is inside a smooth fabric "sock", so there are no spots that rub or pinch. And you have lots of freedom of adjustment in terms of where the shoe is tighter and looser. These shoes are very high quality with a really stiff carbon sole and nice, supple leather.
I love them so much I bought an extra pair for when my current pair wears out!

Fantastic shoes for wide feet
These shoes have changed my life... seriously. I have wide feet, and have tried every major brand�s �wide� options. My last pair, a major brand out of CA which makes some nice helmets, were my most comfortable to date, but when I first put on my Lakes, I knew right away what I was missing. The problem with most other brand�s wide or high-volume options is they use the same sole (last) as their regular fit, and just add more upper material and claim a �spill over� area. It�s cheaper to manufacture, but what happens is your foot isn�t fully supported. You wouldn�t ride on a saddle that was narrower than your sit bones, right? Well, I didn�t know any better, and thought I had a nerve problem in my big toe, as it�d go numb on rides over 90 minutes, and be downright painful. Cycling is pain, so Rule #5 (HTFU) and I pushed through.
No longer. The Lake shoes have a wider last, and my foot is fully supported... the shoes disappear on my feet. No special insert is needed, and the uppers wrap around so nicely. They�re not the lightest, or the stiffest, but I don�t care anymore. They�re still very stiff, and power transfer is great... better yet, my feet are so comfortable that I can push harder, for longer, and do it without pain in my feet. Add the heat moldable heel cup and words fail to describe the perfection of the fit. I�m not going back.
If you have wide feet, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. These shoes are worth it.

Best road bike shoe I ever had!
by Robert HertBerg

These shoes are very light, stiff and comfortable. They are everything you would ever want in a road shoe. They adjust so well with the double cable adjustment. I can get the right fit without pressure points anywhere.

Pricey but worth
I have pretty wide feet and if you have any type of foot that is wide, look no further. I do always recommend getting insoles, no matter the shoe choice. One thing I wish would be better for the next iteration is stack height. But otherwise it is a perfect shoe.
