Why We Like The Lake CX238 Wide Road Shoe
The Lake CX238 Wide Road Shoe is engineered for cyclists who demand both comfort and performance on the road. With a wider forefoot and the innovative Competition last, the CX238 allows natural foot expansion, helping to eliminate numbness and hot spots during high-cadence efforts. Its Race carbon fiber sole ensures maximum stiffness for efficient power transfer, while the full-grain leather upper offers durability and comfort. Mesh panels keep the shoe breathable, and the rubber toe bumper adds extra protection, making this shoe a trusted choice for serious road cyclists. Whether sprinting or climbing, the CX238 keeps us focused on the road ahead.

Great for my wide feet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Men’s black 46.5 Wide
I was getting toe blisters due to the toe box on my supposedly “wide” Specialized shoes. Tried everything to fix it but eventually bought these shoes when I could barely walk without pain. Lake for the win! Blisters are gone!

These exceeded my expectations, happy I finally found some wide cycling shoes for my wider feet. The comfort is amazing. Quality of shoe is high and I love the BOA system.

Wonderful Shoes

Purchased the Blk on Wht (wide fit) size 43, should have gotten 42.5. The wide model runs a bit large (just under 1/2 size). Very comfortable, extremely roomy, flexible, light & did I mention comfy? Love these shoes, will continue to use UFN.

Runs Small, Hope Next One Works!
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 42
According to the size chart, I should take a 41.5 in length. Tried a CX242 and had to limp to even walk in them. No larger sizes in stock here or directly at Lake. (Insider tip: Get shoes from a store or on line. Lake delayed my shipment 8 days until I emailed: they didn’t have in stock, but they were available to order(?). Pick another color in stock in the US. Waited 9 days - no shipment. Emailed about ship date and was ghosted for a week & 1/2, until shoes showed up at my door.) Went up 1/2 size in the CX238 and now wide enough but apparently I have TTS (or tall toe syndrome) - joking, not a real medical thing, because top of big toe constantly rubs on the upper. Now trying another 1/2 size larger for, hopefully, more forefoot volume. Seem like great shoes if I can perfect the fit!

Painfully uncomfortable

No matter where you position the cleat on the shoes, you will feel the specific position pressure of the cleat through the sole. Never experienced this with any of my other shoes. There is almost zero pressure distribution through the sole.

Just received these today. Wow, very impressed with the quality of materals, design, and construction. The fit is perfect. I purchased the white in 42.5. I have learned that I absolutely must buy only wide option shoes. My feet are more square shaped than the normal tapered foot, and these fit so well, are so comfortable. I can tell by the quality that they will last a long long time.

Grabbed these in the “wide” version perfect if you are looking for cleats with more space! No more numb toes

Great road shoe for wide feet
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Most comfortable road shoes for wide feet. Easy to adjust. Just make sure you have the correct measurements for your foot WHEN splayed as if you were standing on the pedals. (Foot gets wider and sometimes longer). Lakes size chart with proper measurements is spot on. One issue is that Lake wide shoes can cause over pronation if you don’t set up your cleats properly. I had to move the cleats more to the middle (side to side) with the minimum shoe/crankarm clearance to keep from some pronation.
