Cycling with Lake Shoes – CX 177

by Larisa Chinces

Riding the roads with my Lake CX 177 cycling shoes

Lake Cycling Shoes work with cyclists and athletes all over the world, using their knowledge and experience to bring you the best cycling shoes in the world. One of their ambassadors is our own editor, Larisa Chinces; a Masters graduate in sports education, a former international speed skater, and multiple national champion, racing at junior level, before taking up cycling and racing on both road and trail – so she knows about kit needing to perform.

Living in the mountainous region of Transylvania, in Romania, Larisa has easy access to steep and challenging roads. Her bike and her kit, all has to perform and to be comfortable. Let’s find out what Larisa thinks of the new Lake Cycling CX 177 road cycling shoes.

Larisa Chinces – Riding in the Mountains

As an athlete, I love being active, and I love the mountains. When the temperatures drop lower and the wet and rainy weather will be most likely, it won’t be possible to cycle outside for a while. The snow will come and for safety and for the cold, we’ll have time retreat and to cycle indoors or ski – not so bad I guess. For now though, I’m trying to ride as much as I can, and to use my Red Chilli bike as often as time allows. It’s colder already though, and sometimes the roads are damp and slippery, bringing dangers. Sometimes it’s nice and sometimes the rain catches me on the route. Kit is important, and not just tyres. I need to feel comfortable and confident, and concentrate on the road.

Comfort, Performance & Style in Equal Measures

Wearing my new CX 177 cycling shoes by Lake, my ride is a great way to test these too, and to get used to them. They’re stylishly beautiful, with a simple design of white with black small details and the Lake logo on them. The Lake CX 177 are a really comfortable cycling shoe for women, due to its high-quality fabrics, the wider shape and fit, and the use of BOA technology to help in wrapping my feet. The CX177 features form fitting and durable microfiber and mesh upper, with a comfortable and secure BOA® closure, which utilizes Carbitex tongue panels for reduced friction lace adjustment. For me, it means that it’s an ultra-comfortable cycling shoe, without reducing performance. They’re also super light and classy, and stylish with all my clothing, and hey-that’s important too, as I’m a woman!

Technology in Design to Aid Performance

I’ve taken them on some long rides already, and I’m very pleased with how they feel and look. The CX 177 is a super stable and firm shoe on the pedal too, with the fiberglass injected nylon sole. Lake’s Nylon sole is world famous for its uncompromising comfort and performance. No other injection nylon sole offers the same level of stiffness or comfort. It means that I can power up the hills and keep my feet well placed as I negotiate the more technical roads.

Best of all, they match with my helmet colour and as I say, also with my diverse cycling outfits. As a woman cyclist and as an athlete, there’s a balance to be found between comfort, performance and style. My Lake Cycling CX 177 road shoes gives me all of this, leaving me to simply concentrate on my ride, as I leave the hills and begin to turn home towards historic Sibiu. Cycling is important to me, and having the right kit is critical – which is why I love riding in Lake Cycling shoes.

Cycle Shoe Cleat Maintenance and Replacement

Cycling Shoes Cleat Wear and Replacement

by Robert Thorpe & Hutch (from Lake Cycling Shoes)

We work very closely with the leading brands in world cycling. It’s one of the benefits of being an independent cycling publication. In my day job, I’m the brand editor globally, at Lake Cycling Shoes – the worlds leading cycling shoe brand. I get to work with some really talented people, like their chief designer, Hutch, who has taught me so much about shoes, their design and how to look after them. Here’s a really useful blog, that Hutch and I first published at www.lakecycling.com. It’s really useful for all cyclists, and will help you to maximise your performance on the bike. When you’re done reading, take a look at the Lake Cycling Shoes website, and find out about their legendary comfort and performance, and wrap your feet in style – with Lake!

Importance of Cleat Management

You may have noticed some issues with your old road cycling shoes during the year, causing pain in your feet or even causing pain elsewhere, in the knees or the hips. If so, then we’d definitely recommend visiting one of the skilled Lake shoe fitting experts at their retail partners, and getting them to take a close look at your feet and cycling position – give yourself some well-earned foot love! Even if your road or off-road cycling shoes are a good fit and perform well, you still need to take care of the cleats, replacing them frequently and fitting them correctly. Your cycling shoe cleats get damaged not only from the wear and tear of pedal attachment, but also from the walking around and hike a bike travel with your mountain bike.

Floating cleat systems were designed to improve your position in the pedals and reduce the risk of knee injuries, and the cleats vary between riding styles. They can also become damaged by walking about too much on hard surfaces too – those café stops off the bike. Cleats are a crucial part of the pedalling equation, and so it’s important to know a little bit about them.

Wear Indicators & Engagement Issues

As the cleats become worn, you’ll find engagement and disengagement difficult, and your foot positioning won’t be as secure, leading to a performance loss and possible danger, if you can’t release your foot from the pedal quickly. Generally, cleats should be replaced after 3000 miles or so, or immediately if you see adverse wear or damage to them, or notice issues with shoe stability with the pedal.

In most cases, especially with the best cleat brands, your cleats will come with wear indicators to help you decide when to change them. However, you’ll also notice engagement issues yourself, even if the wear indicators don’t show a problem. If your engagement or pedal fitting isn’t tight and positive, then it’s time to change your cleats, to keep you safe and to make the most from your Lake cycling shoes. Make sure that you know what the wear indicators look like for the brand of cleats that you’re using. You might also be experiencing pain when cycling, that can’t be put down to anything else. If you haven’t properly chosen the right cleats for your own individual need, then this can be quite a common issue.

Cleat Position

Having cycling shoe cleats positioned incorrectly can also cause significant problems for cyclists. With poorly positioned cleats, you can experience pain in the foot, the ankles, the knee, the hips, and the lower back, so it’s crucial to get it right – especially if you’ve chosen a pair of Lake, road cycling shoes that are perfectly fitted to your feet. It therefore makes sense to fit the cleats perfectly too.

If you do want a basic guide, then as a rule of thumb these days is to set up your new cleats along a plane or line, in the area of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the third toe. If you set a line that runs between the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of your first toe and your third toe, placing your shoes on and marking the location, and then setting the new cleat to the centre of this. Then, try the pedalling and make the necessary adjustments.

Use a Template

If your old cleats were already in a good position, then simply draw around the position of your cleats before removing them, and then fix the new cleats into the template on the sole of the shoe. Test out the new position and ensure that it feels correct, and you’re ready to go.

Cleat Float Variations

Cleat Float is a technical subject area, and we really do recommend that you talk with one of our expert shoe fitting Lake dealers, and let them share their knowledge with you. In basic terms, the cleat ‘float’ relates to the natural rotational movement of your foot during the pedal stroke. Having the right cleats with the right degree of float will always improve your comfort and performance, allowing your foot and leg to move comfortably and naturally. Basically, having the right ‘float’ cleat will bring your foot movement into the best position on the bike.

As with all cycling developments, it’s about performance and comfort. The floating cleats were developed to allow a small degree of sideways rotational movement of the heel of the foot when clipped into a pedal. Your own heel may stay still in its natural movement, or it might move towards or away from the bike a small degree. The floating cleat allows the foot to centre itself during the pedal stroke and maximises efficiency.

You can get cleats with ‘zero float’, and many World Tour professional riders advocate the use of a fixed-position, or ‘zero float’ cleat. These top-level riders often felt that the fixed position of the cleat allowed for a very power-efficient pedal stroke, as the zero-float cleat gave no opportunity for unwanted movement of the leg. The main pedal brands, such as Shimano and Look, both produce a range of cleats with varying degrees of floats, based on whether your toes point outwards or inwards. There’s lots more science to it obviously, and we always recommend speaking to our shoe fitting partners in-store.

Summary

Having properly fitting cycling shoes makes a world of difference. You also need to take care of the cleats too though. They wear out and they’re also designed to be fitted in a variety of way, to suit your own cycling style. Leading cycle shoe brand, Lake, want you to make the most from your Lake cycling shoes, on road and trail, which is why they believe that getting the right cleat set-up is important. If you’re getting pain when riding, it may be as simple as having the wrong cleats on your shoes. And, once you do have the right cleats, always keep an eye on them and change them frequently. You can also get covers for your cleats, so that when you’re not pedalling and you’re off the bike, walking around, the cleats stay protected. They’re really small and will fit into one of your jersey pockets. With specialist dealers all around the world, Lake Cycling Shoes will be able to help you, by both measuring your feet and helping you to find the right cleats for your own pedalling style, so that you maximise your performance and your comfort, riding for longer and with more smiles, and with their legendary comfort and performance

Introducing The New CX / MX 242 Cycling Shoe

by Robert Thorpe

Introducing The New CX / MX 242 Cycling Shoe

When I’m not writing here at Pedalnorth, our volunteer led website, I work for the worlds leading cycling shoe brand, Lake Cycling Shoes. Our writers here at Pedalnorth are all volunteers, simply giving something back in an altruistic way, and yes – we all have jobs elsewhere in the cycling world. My own job, is as the global brand editor at Lake Shoes, and I recently had to look at and write about the new Lake CX 242 Cycling Shoe. It is a truly amazing shoe, for people with foot issues. Anyway, we thought that we ought to share this and a few more of the Lake blogs with you – so, here goes. Here’s our first in a series of blogs about feet and cycling shes for you; because your feet are the hardest working part of your body, and they deserve the best – they deserve Lake

TAKING CYCLING SHOE COMFORT TO A NEW LEVEL

Lake Cycling Shoes have been at the forefront of cycling shoe development and design for over 40 years. In that time, they’ve always looked to the future, producing cycling shoes that aim to maximise rider comfort and performance. It’s in their DNA, and, as a brand, they recognise that not all feet are the same – in fact, they’re as unique as you. They also don’t like standing still; especially when their team has got so many new ideas to develop – like their new 242 cycling shoe, for both road and off-road cycling. It takes our earlier 241 model and the separated side panels, to a whole new level, bringing in extra lateral support for your feet.

A CONSTANT DRIVE TO DEVELOP LAKE CYCLING SHOES

Lake, and their designer, Hutch, looked at the previous 241 model and introduced some new elements, whilst improving other key areas, to produce one of the most comfortable cycling shoes in the world – whatever your foot shape. Having problem feet is no fun, Lake understand that, and that’s ultimately whythis amazing shoe brand have so many size options here at Lake.

THE PERFECT SHOE FOR PROBLEM FEET

With these new additions, it’s a shoe that takes comfort and performance to a new level – especially for those feet that need a little extra care. It’s designed to benefit those riders with foot issues, such as bunions, deformation or an extremely narrow foot and who need a cycling shoe that will not beat up their feet. Instead, the new Lake 242 wraps the rider in comfort, giving them the endurance to stay on the bike for longer.

NEW INNOVATIONS FOR STABILITY & COMFORT

The shoe has separated panels on the full grain leather upper, another Lake Cycling innovation, which allow for fine tuning the pressure and the fit. These separated panels, and the Dual BOA Li2 Fit System allow the shoe to conform around the sensitive and painful areas of the foot, without the constraints and without the pain felt in ordinary cycle shoes.

New Features

A Wider Toe Box

Releasable BOA lace guides for all sizes

More suppport at the in-step & arch, for improved foot stability

Now also available with Micro-fibre upper as well as full-leather

100% Carbon Fibre sole

Lake and their chief designer, Hutch, also added a new Carbitex Omni Flex Carbon Fiber Stabiliser, to ensure that the foot is kept stable inside the shoe. This new addition, another change from the previous 241 means that the 242 shoe maximises power transfer to the pedal. A heat moldable heal, ensures that the shoe is literally wrapped around every part of your foot, giving the rider the perfect balance between comfort and performance. We like to think that the new Lake Cycling 242 shoe literally becomes a second skin for your hard-working feet. Best of all, there’s a version to support every cycling style, whether you ride road, gravel or mountain bike, with both the new CX 242 for roadies, and the MX 242 for those who want to ride the off-road trails.

FORM & FIT = ULTIMATE COMFORT

Along with the pressure release zones on the upper, a carbon sole to lighten the shoe and to maximise power transfer and stability, as you tackle those steep climbs and tough tracks, the new Lake 242 cycling shoe takes your cycling comfort to a whole new level, on tarmac or on the trail – and that’s important to us here at Lake. Why not visit one of our specialist fitting centres at a Lake Cycling partner, and let Lake measure your feet. It’s definitely time for wrapping things up, so let Lake wrap your feet in comfort, with our new CX / MX 242 cycling shoe.

SIDAS and Lake Shoes Foot Seminar

For the hardest working part of our bodies in cycling, our feet often get a rough ride. We were invited along to the Boardman Centre for some serious foot science and to see how custom foot beds and well fitted shoes can not only help your performance, but will also improve your overall foot health too.

Watching SIDAS and Lake setting up at the Boardman Centre, the amount of work and attention to detail, it was clear that this was going to be an interesting day. True to this, a skeletal foot came out, along with a myriad of machines … interesting.

Opening up the day for our group of eager foot technicians, the guys from SIDAS obviously had particular goals and were consummate professionals, discussing these prior to beginning the sessions. The array of technical kit required is significant, looking like a medical facility for foot care, which in many respects I guess it is, because riding or doing any physical activity in ill fitting footwear will ultimately cause long term issues, as well as hindering performance. Many of the people, all from within the cycling community and industry knew each other, which is a common feature within cycling and before long we were all learning about the intricacies of biomechanics and foot injuries and issues.

Being a rider and former rock monkey (climber), with two foot operations to my name, it was fascinating stuff as we were led through the multiple problems that cyclists can suffer and the solutions available. How often do we simply walk into a shop or look online and buy the shoes that are cheapest, without any real thought to the long term consequences. No, wearing a thicker sock or some cardboard strategically placed under the insole is not the answer.

Forensic science has discovered long ago that each foot is different, using shoe prints to solve crimes. We all walk, run and turn the pedals in a different way and SIDAS led the group the science of this and how the foot needs to operate, before some serious analysis and foot measurement was required – time to get out the whizzy machines.

The guys from SIDAS went through their FIT Protocol, which is at the heart of everything that they do. There’s a clarification of important terms and points in fitting and the level of information that was given out relating to the foot and the various foot positioning was exceptional, making me analyse my own way of walking, running and cycling as I listened in. That long list of regular toe and foot issues suddenly became understandable as I realised that there’s more to buying shoes than simply walking into a store and hoping that they’ll do the job.

The group was broken down and set to measuring each other’s feet, looking at how foot beds can assist and how each foot varies in a number of ways: high arch, width, various leg positions and movements t and how these alter the position of the foot. It was an excellent explanation of the difference between a wide foot and a high volume foot, and how the shoe will differ for each. For instance, a high volume foot will have a wide foot and high shape, so it’s crucial to know about how custom foot beds can assist in the overall fitting and performance of the shoe.

Everyone has their foot accurately measured, both in terms of width, length and volume – yes volume, and then we’re introduced to the V-VAC and HD Vacuum Silicon Bags, which are two separate silicon vacuum bags filled with microballs connect to the V-VAC vacuum pump. The rider is directed to place their feet onto these, as the foot is guided into the bag as it forms, producing a perfect representation of the foot and how the sole is shaped. From this, the skilled technician can choose the right foot beds, heat them and form them into the mold to produce a perfect shape for each foot. SIDAS system uses a small ‘baking’ machine called the V-Lab, which is a thermo-welding device developed for thermo-forming techniques. It’s used to make plantar orthotics without adhesive, having multi-function touch controls for setting heat and time, so the skilled user won’t burn your meal … or over-cook your foot beds.

Then it’s off to the final shape forming, where fibre board is added to the foot bed, adding stability inside the shoe, before a very smart looking grinder is used to finalise the foot love, smoothing everything out to ensure that it sits perfectly inside your cycling shoes. Oh, did I forget … yes, there’s also more to the actual cycling shoe itself than meets the eye – next it was time for some shoe science from Lake.

Christian Van Asten loves your feet … truly he does, and he wants you to take better care of them too. That’s why Lake produce the widest selection of shoe lasts in the industry; and no, a Shoe last is not ‘how much use you’ll get out of it!’ No, it’s the actual base on which the sole is added and the upper is formed, making sure that the shoe is the right one for you, and yes Lake produce all of their own and a great selection of sizes for all types and widths of feet. It seems sensible then that this likeable Dutchman would work alongside SIDAS, ensuring that all of their hard work and science is utilised in the right way – in the right shoe and foot bed for you.

Christian talked the group through the technicalities of shoe sizing, including the volume issue, which is just as critical as width. Displaying their latest shoe, Christian demonstrated the independent Boa strapping system, which operated separately at each point of the upper, wrapping the foot perfectly in skin tight comfort.

We’re guided through the ‘Lake & bake’ process, where your measurements are refined to choose the perfect shoe, which is then fitted even closer through a baking process to make it as individual as your precious feet. Then, it’s time to add to SIDAS footbeds and feel how different it all is. Yes, I know that you’re probably a little bit skeptical still, but wait …

I live in North Yorkshire, the home of skeptically challenged people. Once home from the seminar, the first thing I did was to ride, immediately noticing the stability of the foot and extra comfort and power transfer. Seriously, it was like being given an extra slice of cake at the Jervaulx Tearooms – yes, the feeling was quite profound and joyful!

Back to the seminar then, and time to take more about shoes.

Lake also appreciate that once you’ve had your foot properly measured, that you now have your definitive foot size. Unlike other brands, Lake use the same lasts across both road and mountain bike shoe ranges. More often than not, cyclists will probably have several shoes of various sizes, that are supposed to be the same, so it’s refreshing to know that once measured you can pick up any shoe from the Lake range with confidence.

By the time that our group have finished measuring, heating, tweaking, molding and grinding, and Andy from Bristol has done my own feet, we’re all feeling far more educated about cycling foot love. Not only that, but once home the SIDAS system immediately began to prove its worth inside my own Lake Shoes. Yes, there’s definitely more to cycling than simply turning the crank. Maybe it’s time to hug your own feet and treat them to some cycling foot love from SIDAS and Lake.

This gives the rider stability while at the same time allowing freedom to his front half of the feet and toes.

To mold, heat the shoe using a hairdryer for 6-8 minutes. Put a tissue inside your sock where the shoes are tight, then wear them and lace up tightly. Then place your foot 90° against the floor for some time. You can repeat this process until the shoe is comfortable for you. You need not undergo this process if the shoe fits well.

Apart from the pink glitter shoes, The KS1 comes in a variety of other colors. These include silver gold, green, red, classic black and white, and python leather. You can also find it in other colors and options such as KS2 and Vito. Check them out online at http://dlkiller.cc/.

Lake Shoes & Christian Van Asten

Lake Shoes & Christian Van Asten

Local bike shops have a place in all our histories. Remember that time when your parents took you for the first time, and you looked around at all the bikes on display – wow! With the focus on internet based shopping these days, the local bike shop still has a valuable place in the cycling community, and not just to service your bike.

Making sure that you get the right kit, and that the kit actually fits you properly is vital, and Christian from Lake Shoes understands this. Leading up one of the top footwear brands in the cycling industry, Christian values the consumer highly, and so takes time to travel all over the globe visiting shops with his distributors, talking directly with cyclists and retail partners and explaining the technicity of the Lake shoes brand.

We caught up with him at NRG Cycles, at Thornaby, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, during his recent retailer trip to the UK.

When you think about it, we spend a lot of time choosing the bike, making sure it has the right gearing, the right wheels and the right finishing kit; but it’s powered by our feet, the hardest working part of the cyclist, never resting. We put them through a physical ordeal in all weathers, and yet, most of us really don’t spend as much time as we ought to when choosing our cycling shoes. The irony is that all of our feet are individual, so no one pair of shoes will fit everyone the same.

Not only do Lake provide a size guide on the website, but they also provide a fitting service through their retailers, to make sure that you get the right shoes. Listening to Christian, he talked the audience at NRG through the myriad of shoe lasts that Lake produce, and how the foot can vary, and how the measuring process works. Then, carefully selecting individual ranges, it’s time to look at the shoes in more detail as Christian talks the audience through the carbon soles, the molded insoles and the heat molding that really refines the final fitting. Everyone here is sitting forward or leaning in, wanting to take in the wealth of information and knowledge about cycling foot love. Christian details the importance of the fit, the issues with wide feet, not so wide feet, average feet and the various pedals and how they interact with the rider, the foot and the bike, providing the stable base for creating power.

In the meantime, we’re guided though the variety of materials used across each shoe style, and how weatherproofing isn’t always best served with leather, and how you’re able to forget the use of overshoes with the CX/MX145 Waterproof Boot model, on both road and mountain bike, from for serious cycling winter foot love. Christian guides us though how the clever people at Lake have designed the ultimate warm weather cycling boot, to keep you riding in comfort through the cold winter days – and yes, it truly is an awesome winter riding boot, designed to keep the feet warm and protected from biting winds and chilled temperatures.

However, far too often we can retreat to the internet for impulse purchases, without considering the needs we actually have. Our feet are truly an important area of business on the bike, and we need to consider them more often. Too often brands change foot beds, change designs, and make decisions based on style rather than performance. Your local bike shop can guide you through the foot love process, and that’s ultimately why Christian takes these sessions. He and Lake understand that vital bond with cyclists and the LBS, and nobody has more passion for the comfort of your feet than this amazing guy.

Yes, there are many good brands out there, but only one that will happily share a beer and pizza on a cold autumn night in the North of England, as they share their knowledge with you – and maybe that’s what makes them special. That’s what makes them Lake.

How to get basic foot measurement

Take your foot measurement In a seated 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.

Please Note: for accurate measurement please obtain a 3 digit millimeter measurement.

example: 267mm or 26.7cm will provide the correct amount of data.

Accurate measurements cannot be obtained from only 2 digits.

example: 26cm does not provide enough data to determine size.

Add 5mm to your actual length measurement to get recommended size, it is not necessary to add any additional mm to your measured width.
