$64.00 | | Purchased At: | Nashbar | | Strengths: | Sole good for off bike | | Weaknesses: | not really wide | | Bottom Line: | Just bought these for my not very wide feet (just over D width). Bought a size 44 which is my foot length. They were crushing my last two toes, not even as wide as my non-wide Diadoras. They might fit if I went up a full size but hten what's the point of a "wide" shoe. Called Lake and they said that the MX 170 is better than the MX 190 for high-volume feet. Why make a wide shoe that isn't good for high-volume feet? They are going back. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$96.00 | | Bottom Line: | These Lakes do not fit my Fred Flinstone feet very well. While I purchased the wide width, I do not find the toe box to be very wide at all. More like a D to E...Not a EEE or 4E.
Am still looking for a better setup. Too bad, the shoes seem pretty nice. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$140.00 | | Purchased At: | Lake | | Strengths: | Fits a wide foot. Tread of the shoe is actually soft enough to work on wet rocks and roots unlike a normal Sidi. | | Weaknesses: | Buckle system has issues. I seem to always jam the release. Like the strap is just too long. Bottoms out and/or jams. This shoe is a bit heavy too. | | Similar Products Used: | Sidi Dominator Mega. | | Bottom Line: | Might be the ticket for someone with wide feet on a budget. Hopefully you won't have buckle issues. Also Lake has known heel cup thread issues which I am keeping an eye on. 3 chilis means good, and with the buckle issue you can't go that high. People here are overating products. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$119.00 | | Purchased At: | Lake online | | Strengths: | Fit. Lake offers WIDE shoes which are actually wide. So they fit properly. How can you ride with pinched toes? Fuggetaboudit. These shoes have a buckle and walkable tread. | | Weaknesses: | They seem a little heavy but did it mention they really fit well. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano(broken). SIDI Dom Mega (still have these). Diadora Geko. Keds (on my Schwinn Typhoon). | | Bike Setup: | Time ATAC on all my bikes. Smartwool socks. | | Bottom Line: | You can't underestimate the power of fit. All day comfort is critical for me. Form and function must go together or you will be limping home from shorter rides. I wear a 12 EEE dress shoe and I love a certain EEEE runNBing shoes made by aNBother compaNBy.
Lake has put it all together here for me with this shoe. I don't need a full carbon sole. The trails I am riding would laugh at me. There is a certain amount of hike a bike for me on some sections. Other trails I can clear and wear the fancy shiny shoes that day.
