Taking our world-renowned Lake 238 cycling shoe, we’ve developed the Lake MX238 Gravel Shoe, bringing this epic design to the growing band of gravel and mixed-terrain riders. It’s a high-performance, high-quality off-road shoe, with the comfort and performance of a road shoe, balanced alongside the walkability of a mountain bike shoe. We've kept it light, reducing any unnecessary weight or bulk, so that you can simply focus on the trails ahead.

MX Competition Last –The MX238 Gravel features a larger toe box and a tighter heel cup than the Comfort last and comes with slightly more overall volume than our Sport last. It’s an exceptionally secure cycling shoe, giving you that extra confidence on loose terrain, where security is key when riding hard and racing. The shoe comes with enough room in the toe box to prevent binding when running up inclines or negotiating those tricky hike-a-bike sections. The wider toe box gives your feet a more natural fit and platform.

Our MX Competition last ensures that the MX238 Gravel shoe is designed to maximize your performance when riding off-road adventures and racing on the rough stuff.

The MX238 Gravel comes with our Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole, bonded with our Mountain Race X real rubber sole for ultimate tread and off-road security. Whatever the terrain, you can ride assured that Lake will look after you, delivering the stiffness required for high-performance riding, and the stability necessary on technical terrain. It’s the perfect balance for speed and security for your gravel bike adventures.

Clarino Microfiber or Ecco Full grain Suede Leather with mesh and Helcor abrasion resistant panels. Whichever upper you wrap your feet in, you can be assured of our legendary Lake cycling shoe comfort – all ride long.

We know how important it is to have the right closure system – especially for technical off-road terrain, where security and stability are critical. We’ve used BOA® Fit System Li2 dials for the MX238 Gravel, as the Li2 dial is the most advanced platform in cycling. It offers a precise, micro-adjustable fit in both directions and is designed to resist abrasion. You can ride in comfort and confidence on those off-road adventures, as the Li2 dual dials help to wrap your feet like a second skin.

DISCLAIMER: Shoes may ship with IP1 dials

Amazing and not amazing

The positives: amazing quality. They fit like a sneaker. Ridiculously comfortable. BOA is fantastic. I love everything about this shoe except the negatives.

The negatives: The shoes are heavy. 200 grams more than my S-work recons. But the real big negative is the lack of ventilation. After a two hour ride my feet were dripping from sweat. I’ve never experienced anything like this. There is almost no ventilation.

I’m an avid racer so the negatives are dealt with breakers for me. Especially the lack of ventilation. Despite their quality I cannot recommend them.

Excellent shoes

I have a pair of CX238 road bike shoes which fit perfectly and I love (EU 44), so thought I’d try the MX238 for my gravel bike given they use the same last. Unfortunately the identical size was slightly too narrow around the toebox and my toes were touching the top of the shoe. I swapped for a pair half size larger EU 44.5) and these fit great. Excellent quality as usual.

Very well made but...

These shoes are very well made and pretty comfortable. It is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into them and the premium materials Lake has chosen to use.
My problem is I have a standard width forefoot and narrow heels and these shoes are really wide at the heel. It's January here and so far I have only used them indoors. They feel ok on the trainer but I hope I never have to walk very far in them.
I wish they offered something like that removeable plastic V shaped thing that some Sidis have that squeeze the back of the shoe around your heel.
Once you install cleats you can no longer return or exchange so you must decide whether or not to commit to them by how they feel just sitting/standing in them.
One other thing I would mention is that these shoes are (for my purposes at least) way overbuilt and heavy.

Nice shoe but wide everywhere

I don't have anywhere local to try these on, so took a gamble and went through the online size method a couple of times to be sure. And they fit nicely in terms of overall length and width around the toes. However, the heel is very wide. I'm trying to use adhesive pads to fix this problem but it's not ideal. I understand having narrow and wide heel lasts would probably be prohibitive but it would be nice if heel width was listed in the size guide. That way at least it's not a surprise.

With that said, they are very well made. The upper finish is lovely, the sole is nice and stiff so I'm not suffering hotspots any more and reversible BOA is handy for little adjustments while riding. After 150km the microfiber upper is a bit stiffer than I'd like, I'm hoping it softens up slightly with more use.
