The Lake CX190 blends the adjustability and styling of Lake’s higher-end road shoes with fit and comfort. Built on the Sport Last, it strikes a balance between efficient pedalling performance and long-ride comfort, making it a versatile option for riders who want advanced performance without giving up all-day wearability. The CX/TX Sport last is designed to cradle the foot securely to prevent unwanted movement, featuring a precisely fitted toe box, high arch, and mid-width ball girth to support feet on every ride.
Outsole:
The CX190 uses Lake’s proven nylon composite sole, engineered to maximise stiffness in key power zones while maintaining controlled flex where comfort is needed. This balance ensures efficient energy transfer into the pedals without excessive foot fatigue, even on longer rides. The sole construction provides dependable performance with an optimised stiffness-to-weight ratio and is compatible with 3-bolt road cleats.
Upper & Lining:
Lightweight microfiber combined with breathable mesh panels creates a durable yet supple upper that resists stretch and maintains form over time. The mesh promotes airflow and moisture management, helping keep feet cool and dry across varied conditions. A wrap-around tongue stabilises the midfoot and improves heel lock, reducing unwanted movement for a secure, slip-free fit during hard efforts.
Closure System:
Dual BOA® L6 dials allow independent adjustment over the forefoot and instep. This two-zone system enables on-the-fly micro-adjustments, creating a secure, even fit without pressure points. Low-profile and impact-resistant, the L6 dials are designed for reliability in real-world riding conditions.
