Lake MX218 review

Who should buy Lake MX218

The MX218 from Lake offers bikers with fuller feet more comfort for all-day wear by applying the brand's MX Competition last. This design features a roomier toe box, slightly more volume, and a tighter heel area than Lake's other last designs. 

This bike shoe is a great pair for those with a wide fit who enjoy the following endeavors:

• Performance riding/training
• Mountain racing
• Trail riding
• Routes with hike-a-bike sections

Wide-footed bikers, the MX218 is for you!

A lot of wide-footed wearers appreciate the pair's true wide fit.

Using the MX Competition last instead of the Comfort last provides the Lake MX218 with a larger toe box and tighter heel. Also, the MX competition last is responsible for giving a slightly more overall volume compared to the Sport last.

Warm conditions will not matter

Several cyclists commend this MTB shoe's leather upper material as it provides adequate airflow and prevents the foot from getting too hot.

The conforming Clarino Microfiber upper with mesh inserts ensures that the feet are well protected and cool even on warmer days.

The Lake MX218 has a firm and grippy outsole

The MX218 yields excellent energy transmission to the bike, say some reviewers. Its 100% carbon fiber soles ensure that no energy is wasted when pedaling, promising optimal power transfer.

For grip that will allow cyclists to tackle off the bike sections, the Mountain Race X rubber sole adds traction to the shoe.

BOA closure promises a lockdown fit

A couple of individuals appreciate the BOA's accurate and easy fine-tuning.

This single BOA L6 dial, together with a micro Velcro strap, ensures that your foot remains steady while pedaling.
