COOKING my IRONMAN shoes | Lake CX332 Cycling Shoes

- Picked up a pair of Lake CX332 WIDE fit road shoes as my Fizik ones are too tight from running in minimalist Altra trainers all summer. And they need to be cooked in the oven so you can get a customised fit! They are now Ironman ready!
I unbox them, cook them, fit them and test them....and in a few days I'm racing in them!

The Lake MX332 in purple/blue just arrived at my door today. Couldn’t resist the awesome colour 🤘
same here, Christmas-tree shiny like, but very nice quality and the colour is great
*I was pleasantly surprised by how well these shoes fit also comfortably for my **Latest.Bike** . It takes a second to get them latched onto the bike, but they lock in once you get them right. Would definitely recommend it ..*
I'm in the exact same position as you were 3 years ago.
Last year I bought a set of barefoot shoes after reading and seeing about it so much. Gave it a try, never looked back!
Started running in them. Haven't done that in 10 years.
Now I've also got a set of Altras and looking for some wider cycling shoes.
This morning I also ended up on Lakes, so I'll give that a try.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Just got some lakes myself as the giros i have tend to pinch when doing a 4 5 hour stint at weekends. Lakes are a godsend !!!!
mark lewis I went with the cx241 myself as edge little toes was where pain kicked, now I can have tight at the ankle and then lot less tight around the toe box. Enjoy!
Now you need to market oven ready shoes for the winter season with a side benefit of heal achilles issues.
Good Luck this weekend!
I've seen the mould able shoes before and have always wondered what they are like. Fascinating really and very clever.
Nice looking shoes as well chap!
Re: the bike, Tri bikes are different to everything else, I was scared to hell when I first started riding mine, good luck for Sunday :)
🦘🟣🔥 Good luck with your race. 🎉
Should've got the purple ones!!!
oh some day! I'll have to get custom ones because I don't like leather, but they'll be amazing I'm sure.
Amazingly I'm normally a size 46 , but I had to size up to a 46.5 . But the 332 are a lovely shoe, I thought the 403 offered more space in the toe box, but had a higher instep and were a faff to mould the complete shoe
Great review.
I just got the CX176 and they fit better than a the wide Shimano XC3/RC3. I guess Lake just have nailed the width.
Also, arch-support way better on CX176 than the Shimano variants (for me).
Excellent video!
Tell me about it. I have been ordering and returning bike shoes for years now. Can’t find any with a good fit. Wide models are good at the front but give heel lift. So i am very curious if you still like them in the long term and if they keep their form after several week as well. I am not looking for shoes that i need to cook and cook and cook again... 🥧
Got those exact socks 👌
8:23 - cheeky git, you just set a timer on my phone!
Great Review! Im contemplating the CX332 in a wide fit, my Bonts are proving a pain quite literally. did you have to adjust your saddle height at all? Ps my bike is that chameleon colour so may have to look around for some of those...
Mark, Coming back to this video as ive been advised to get the Lake 332s and wonder what your thoughts are of them now you've been wearing them for a little while
Are you sure you put them in at the correct temperature!? It's supposed to be 200 fahrenheit which is only 90 degrees C!
Life's to short, buy the purple!
So what does cooked kangaroo smell like then? Bet it smells even better if it’s purple!
i just heat molded my lake cx 241's today and cant wait to ride heard good stuff about these shoes. I see you have red cleats no float?
Aussie here, koala - go ahead
4:45 did you just describe KSI? 😂
how do you like the rosso corsa socks? and dude im getting footbalance custom insoles for my lakes!! ill keep you posted i out in a 16 hour week
@@MarkLewisfitness ill keep you posted i had a 4.5 hour ride today insoles next week heard its night and day in terms of comfort and efficency
Haha I have those monsterous wide feet and yes, they have definitely plagued me my whole life 😅.. Just got the extra wide vsn after having the (normal) wide version. The sole is noticibly wider but also a bit thicker I think. Nice review!
I know Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Christian Gibson flixportal =)
@Terrance Eric Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !!
@Christian Gibson happy to help :D
Ha, when you told Siri to set a timer it started Siri on my iPad 🤬.
Most interesting about this video is that your kitchen has 2 ovens
Do you cook all lake shoes ?
haha - i'm getting the purple ones as my Sarto Lampo has a purple paint accent :-)
@@MarkLewisfitness I'm a bit like you really, black is safe and goes with most kit. But, I just couldn't resist the purple shoes :-)
Think 10 times before you do the heat molding on LakeCycling shoes or buy them at all. This is what happened to my MX332.
1. I bought $450 MTB MX332 cycling shoes from LakeCycling. Not a lot of money as such but still it is a top shelf price when it comes to MTB cycling shoes so one would expect a premium quality and a premium customer care approach.
2. The shoes are said to be covered by 2-years Warranty.
3. The shoes are designed to heat mold the heel in order to fit perfectly.
4. In my case the heat mold is necessary since the shoes do not hold the heel.
5. I decided to do the molding about 4 months after purchase and after few times of using the shoes in dry conditions.
6. By precisely following the molding procedure provided by the manufacturer, one shoe at a time, I have performed the heat molding process. Unfortunately there was only a subtle effect of the heat molding as it seems that the heel material did not become soft enough to do this process - even though the temperature settings and time-in-the-oven was exactly like specified in the instructions.
7. After performing the procedure the shoe toe in both shoes became wrinkled/damaged.
8. I contacted the manufacturer - LakeCycling - with a claim.
9. The manufacturer, just by looking at low-res photos, implied that the shoes were damaged because they supposedly had been used in wet conditions and improperly dried or overheated during heat molding process - which, according to the manufacturer, is my fault. Based on this "expertise" the manufacturer rejects my claim.
10. The support person insistently kept on offering me 30% discount code on new shoes...only until I decide to take it - then the offer is retracted.
11. The final solution recommended to me by LakeCycling is.... to go to a cobbler for assistance with repairing the shoes.
This experience does not provide trust into the after sale service especially with such a high end product aiming at enthusiasts
I tell you what else it loves . Teslas. You were talking of one. On the cards?
@@MarkLewisfitness Cracking choice on the Beemer. A colleague just took delivery of the new X5 hybrid and I have to say it’s a very nice bit of kit. I’ve got a model three long range on order due November. Fingers crossed I’ve done the right thing, first full electric. Although the tax advantages can’t be ignored.
@@MarkLewisfitness True indeed. Good luck on Sunday. Looking forward to the video. Have a good one.
4:45 😂😂😂
What about insoles?
Hi there Mark,
Any update to how the shoe has been treating you?
love them, wear them every day pretty much. No complaints.
@@MarkLewisfitness How is the power transfer ? Some people complain that gives a bit due to being leather VS synthetic ?
There is a Clarino version which is micro fiber
