Lake CX-178-X Wide Road Shoes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A shoe for the discerning road cyclist, for training rides and races.

The new CX178 offers modern performance, with a focus on anatomical efficiency and everyday comfort. It is built on a 
redesigned last with a wider toe box, supporting the natural splay of the toes and reducing pressure while improving stability, alignment, and 
long-distance comfort. Combined with Lake's proven nylon composite sole and lightweight microfiber upper, the CX188 offers a balanced combination of 
adjustability, breathability, and durability, making it a versatile option for both recreational and competitive cyclists.
Upper
The CX188 upper is made from durable, non-stretch microfiber with precision-cut ventilation holes in the forefoot and midfoot. These holes promote airflow and moisture management without compromising the integrity of the construction. The anatomical design of the upper complements the redesigned toe box, reducing pressure on the medial and lateral sides of the forefoot and allowing the toes to splay naturally under load. This design improves comfort while maintaining a secure, performance-oriented fit.

Outsole
The stiff, lightweight nylon composite sole provides efficient power transfer and controlled flexibility, ensuring all-day comfort. The outsole features a 9 mm adjustable mounting track from the toes to the heel and an extended midfoot placement, allowing the cyclist to fine-tune the position of the cleats to improve biomechanical efficiency and reduce strain. The extended ventilation channels in the sole improve airflow, while the oversized heel and toe pads provide extra grip and durability off the bike.
Closure
A single BOA® L6 dial provides quick, micro-adjustable tension across the midfoot. The system ensures even pressure distribution and quick on/off access while keeping weight down. Working with the supportive upper, the closure provides a secure, glove-like fit throughout the pedal stroke.
1. Sport Comfort Last - Redesigned with a wider toe box and a stable forefoot platform, 
the Sport Comfort Last promotes the natural splay of the toes, improves alignment, and reduces pressure points while maintaining pedaling efficiency.
2. Anatomical toe box - The wider forefoot design supports the natural splay of the toes, stability, and comfort.
3. Microfiber upper - Lightweight, breathable, and shape-retaining, ensuring a consistent fit and 
long-distance comfort.
4. 60K Force Nylon Composite Sole - Stiff when needed, flexible 
for comfort, and 3-bolt compatible.
5. Oversized Heel & Toe Pads - Durability and grip when walking.
