Lake Men's MXZ302 Cycling Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the weather started getting cold, I was really having problems with my toes getting cold. With my regular cycling shoes, my toes would get cold and numb before the one hour mark and I'd just have to suffer through the next 20-30 minutes. This is probably due to both poor circulation and well ventilated shoes. I really thought I'd have to quite for the season.
I decided to try these shoes out and they've made a world of a difference. I've been out biking around the freezing mark, and after an hour and a half ride, my toes only feel the slightest tinge of cold. I'm very happy that I decided to get these and that I can keep on biking.
The waterproof-ness seems pretty good too. I'm not one to bike in the rain, but one warm day I was out and there were lots of large puddles from the snow melting, these shoes kept my feet dry.
Style-wise, they seemed kind of funny looking when looking at the online pictures. But now that I have them, I actually like wearing them.
Sizing. I consider myself a size 10, but I often bump up to an 11 to compensate for my wide feet. My Shimano shoes are 44. I got these in a 45 and they fit very well. From what I've read, Lake shoes tend to run wider than the average cycling shoe, and I'd have to agree. These do come in extra wide if you need. I will warn you that I had to adjust the cleats so the shoes were as far away from the crank arms as possible. When I had the cleat centered, the shoes would rub the crank arms.
Pricing. These are very expensive. I was able to get them on clearance and they were well worth the price I paid. To be honest though, I'd have a hard time justifying paying full price for these.
Bottom line, I love these shoes. And I'm wondering how stupid I'd look if I was to wear them with shorts when the weather gets warmer.
