The Lake MX238 Gravel Shoe offers gravel and mixed-terrain riders the comfort and performance of a road shoe with the walk-ability of a MTB shoe without the addition of excessive weight or bulk.
The MX238's Helcor abrasion-resistant leather is specifically designed to be extremely durable against rubbing, scrapes and scuffing. Clarino Microfiber (Beetle/Black or White/Black) or Ecco Fullgrain leather (Black) uppers are sleek, supple and form fitting, providing a glovelike feel that conforms to the shape of your foot over time. Hook lycra heel liner offers a firm grip for off-the-bike mobility.
Dual BOA closure system offers more security and adjustability than a single BOA. Two times as much to be exact.

Shoes are super personal but if these fit your feet you'll be super happy. Well made, supple suede upper, stiff sole, lots of protection for the carbon sole with walkable rubber... basically it ticks all the boxes for me.
The only negative is the weight. These are not light shoes, but if you can overlook that they're pretty near perfect.
After trying most other cycling shoes, I am a dedicated Lake shoe wearer. I need a regular heel, regular upper volume and a wide ball of foot/toe box. Lake nails those requirements. And their shoes are great quality and last a long time. It's early days, but we'll see if that's true of the suede-like finish of these gravel ones. My only note is that the volume seems to be different in the road (cx) vs mtb/gravel (mx) of the same shoe model. In the cx238, I wear a wide for the extra volume. It fits great. In the mx238, I wear a standard. It fits great. I tried the mx238 wide and there was way too much volume.
I didn�t realize how comfortable cycling shoes could be until I try this lake gravel shoe.
The increase with in the toolbox makes for an amazingly comfortable without sacrificing efficiency or unnecessary foot, movement.
I highly recommend the shoe!
Bought these for the stiff carbon sole and wider fit. Not dissapointed. Excellent power transfer to the pedals, while the shoes are still walkable. I actually wear these on my road bike. This that one shoe for all bikes!
