+3532840609The MX239 Gravel is the latest version of our most popular gravel biking shoe for adventure seekers. This new evolution of our legendary MX238 Gravel is now updated to include an integrated tongue to the medial panel of the upper for a firmer foot hold, ensuring that power is maximized into forward momentum through improved stability.
The MX239 Gravel comes with a new fiberglass reinforced internal heel counter, creating a more stable heel hold, and has more spacing between the two BOA® dials to give greater zone adjustment to the forefoot area. It takes one of our favorite off-road adventure cycling shoes to a whole new level of comfort, fit and performance, with modern styling as standard. Add to this the Mountain Race X real rubber sole, and you have a gravel biking shoe to take on any challenge.
MX Competition Last
The MX239 Gravel features a larger toe box and a tighter heel cup than the Comfort Plus 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 technical sections. The wider toe box gives your feet a more natural fit and platform.
Our Lake MX Competition last ensures that the MX239 Gravel shoe is designed to maximize your performance when riding off-road adventures and racing on the rough stuff – for as long as your adventures last.
Outsole
The MX239 comes fitted with our Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole, alongside our Mountain Competition real rubber sole, to provide you with a super-stable off-road cycling shoe. With extended protection for the toe area, and the opportunity to fit lugs to the forefoot area of the sole, it provides that all-important stability for the feet on all types of technical terrain, however loose.
Upper
This latest high performance road cycling shoe comes with a choice of either a Clarino Microfiber (Stone/Black or White/Black) or a Recycled Leather (Black/Gold) with Mesh and Helcor Abrasion resistant leather panels with Outlast heel lining. In our continuing efforts to use the best materials available, and by working with world-class materials suppliers, we’re also committed to sustainability in our latest products, meaning that our shoes are designed to be used for a long time and can be repaired. Alongside the Black/Gold colorway, we are truly proud to introduce Recycled leather to the cycling shoe world. Performance, style and sustainability is possible – with Lake cycling shoes.
Closure
BOA® Fit System Side mounted Li2 Push/Pull dial with releasable guides integrated into Lake’s incredible fitting and comfortable uppers. The Li2 dial is the most advanced platform in cycling, offering a precise, micro-adjustable fit in both directions and designed to resist abrasion. There is not one element that can take credit for shoe fit on its own. Closure and comfort are down to several details, which is why here at Lake, we take time to design shoes with what we believe to be the best comfort and closure systems. The dual BOA® fit system is not unique to cycling, but it is how we use this dial system in conjunction with our pattern work, our world-class shoe Last and our selection of superior upper materials that make this system work.
Ultimately, this is why Lake shoes are known across the world for being some of the best fitting and most comfortable high performance cycling shoes.
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.
Lake Shoes
Lake's mission is to make the best fitting and most comfortable high performance cycling shoes in the world.
Lake is one of a small few brands who focuses on the foot first crafting a comprehensive range of shoes to fit all foot shapes and riding styles.
This theory goes beyond materials & construction methods to the actual foot form (the “last”) around which a shoe is built to determine whether a shoe meets a particular need. Instead of trying to make one or two foot shapes fit every rider, we have created a variety lasts to meet most riders needs.
4 Step Fitting Guide
Fitting Guide
Step 1
Measuring Your Foot
Tips for accurate foot measurement
- Take your foot measurement in a standing position while wearing your cycling socks.
- Please obtain a 3 digit millimeter measurement.
- example: 267mm or 26.7cm will provide the correct amount of data.
- Two digit measurements, like "26cm", does not provide enough data to determine size.
Step-by-step
- 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.
- *We recommend adding 5mm onto your length measurement before checking the size chart.

Step 4 Review Shoe Lasts
MTB/Gravel Lasts
Shoe lasts are like a template used by shoe manufacturers to ensure consistency and accuracy in shoe production. Lake Cycling has a variety of shoe lasts built for a variety of conditions. Read more below on each.
MX Sport
This last features a larger, more roomy toe-box than our Comfort last while providing increased foot control through the heel & saddle of the foot. The resulting fit is designed for aggressive riding while remaining comfortable to wear all day. Ideal for couriers, adventure cyclists & anyone else who wears their cycling shoes for long periods of time.
MX Competition
Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort last and with slightly more overall volume than the Sport last. Exceptionally secure for hard riding/racing with enough room in the toe box to prevent binding when running up inclines or negotiating a hike-a-bike section. Designed for performance riding & racing.
MX race
Featuring a slightly narrower toe box & tighter heel than the Competition last and less overall volume than the Sport last. Designed for a slimmer fit & most suitable for racing.
MX Comfort Plus
Our Comfort last is designed to provide foot control while pedaling without restricting the foot during off-bike activities. With a feel similar to traditional athletic shoes, this is an excellent choice for commuting, on & off trail sport rides & gentle terrain trekking.
Road/Triathlon Lasts
CX/TX Sport
The higher cadence & longer ride times which characterize road cycling require excellent foot control to avoid hot-spots & numbness. With a much closer fit than any of our off-road lasts, our Sport last cradles the foot securely to prevent any unwanted movement. This last features a precisely fitted toe-box, high arch & mid width ball girth.
CX/TX Competition
With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure, our Competition last features a more curved profile than the Sport last. The main differences include increased toe pitch & heel lift, a tighter heel & a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.
CX Race
Featuring a slightly narrower toe box & tighter heel than the Competition last and less overall volume than the Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure and a slimmer fit.
CX/TX Comfort Plus
The Comfort Plus last has the most generous forefoot platform of all of our CX lasts. This last will accommodate a multitude of foot shapes and allow for toe splaying. Made for those riders who struggle to find an unrestricted shoe for the shape of their feet.
Winter Lasts
Winter
With a much wider & taller toe box than our traditional lasts, the Winter last allows the foot to maintain proper circulation even when thicker socks are worn. Our winter last is the standard for winter cycling footwear.
Winter Extreme
This last features our largest & tallest toe-box for ultimate insulation in extreme winter conditions. The Winter Extreme last allows the foot to maintain proper circulation even when thicker socks are worn. What's unique about our last is the cycling specific heel, instep and arch shape that still maintain proper conforming fit to keep your foot securely in place while riding or walking without the need to over tighten. Our Winter Extreme last continues to forge ahead to comfort and warmth for winter cycling footwear.
