LAKE CX190 Road Shoe

The CX190 blends the adjustability and styling of Lake’s higher-end road shoes with the fit and comfort. Built on the Sport Last, it strikes a balance between efficient pedaling performance and long-ride comfort, making it a versatile option for riders who want advanced performance without giving up all-day wearability.

Last

CC/TX Sport Comfort Last- The higher cadence and longer ride times which characterize road cycling require excellent foot control to avoid hot-spots and numbness. Our Sport last is designed to cradle the foot securely, to prevent any unwanted movement, leaving you free to concentrate on the ride ahead. This now legendary Lake cycling shoe ‘last’ features a precisely fitted toe box, high arch, and mid width ball girth, to support your feet on every ride.

Outsole

The CX190 uses Lake’s proven nylon composite sole, engineered to maximize 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. Compatible with 3-bolt road cleats, the sole construction provides dependable performance with an optimized stiffness-to-weight ratio.

Upper

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 stabilizes the midfoot and improves heel lock, reducing unwanted movement for a secure, slip-free fit during hard efforts.

Closure

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.

Fitting Guide

The CX190 offers a balanced, traditional fit that sits between narrow race shoes and high-volume comfort models. It provides a neutral shape designed to work across a wide range of foot widths and volumes. Microfiber uppers deliver consistent support and stability. Riders coming from other brands may notice a slightly wider platform designed to improve on-bike comfort and stability.

If you are between sizes or prefer additional room, consider sizing up 0.5–1 size.
