I bought these as my current shoes develop hot spots on long rides so needed wider fitting shoes. This was the second pair I had to order as the first pair I found to be under sized so I recommend you size up when buying. Once I rectified this the fit was perfect, I have ridden a mix of short and long rides and found them really comfortable in and out of the saddle. The only thing I will say is the Boa fastening needs tightening again when your feet have settled in when putting them on. The more expensive models have 2 dials on the shoe, top and bottom so gives an instant fastening to your needs straight away but of course you have to pay more for the privilege. All in all highly impressed with the overall quality and fit.
Product Details
Enjoy a high-performance riding experience with the sleek and comfortable Lake CX219 Road Cycling Shoes. Starting with the upper, the form-fitting microfiber and mesh give an impressively durable and breathable performance with a snug fit that adapts to your foot shape. Getting the perfect fit is easy. The BOA® Fit System L6 dial ensures quick and precise closure adjustments, even at full speed - lockdown for a sprint or ease off pressure when it's hot. Carbitex tongue panels enhance the shoe's comfort by reducing friction during lace adjustments, allowing for a smooth and even fit across the top of the foot.
The CX219 features the Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fibre Sole, offering an exceptional stiffness rating of 80/100 on the Lake Force Resistance Scale. This ensures superior power transfer, maximising pedalling efficiency for riders who want to get up to speed quickly and stay there efficiently.
The shoes are built on the Lake CX/TX Competition Last, which provides a more curved profile than their Sport Last, with an increased toe pitch and heel lift. The slightly wider ball girth allows the foot to expand naturally under high pedalling pressure while the tighter heel ensures a secure fit, making the CX219 an ideal choice for serious cyclists seeking comfort and performance over long distances.
Sizing note:
Lake shoes run small. We recommend sizing up — most customers find they need one full size larger than their usual EU size. If you're between sizes, always go up. This applies to both the standard and wide fit versions.

Take your foot measurement in a standing position while wearing your cycling socks.
Step 1: Trace your foot onto a sheet of paper. After you trace your foot take a ruler and make a line to mark the furthest point on all four sides as shown below.
Step 2: Length measurement (Points 1 to 2 as shown below). Use a millimeter ruler to get the measurement of the longest distance from heel to longest toe (first or second toe).
Step 3: Width measurement (Points 3 to 4 as shown below). Use a millimeter ruler to get the measurement of the widest distance of foot from side to side.
Step 4: Repeat steps for other foot as your feet may be different sizes. Typically you will want shoes that accommodate your largest foot the most comfortably.
*Add +5mm to your measured length to get correct shoe length.
Reviews
Upgraded from 3 velcro strap fastening shoes. These shoes are great given the Boa ratchet design allows easy adjustment during the ride. First ride was comfortable.
