The CX190 blends the adjustability and styling of Lake’s higher-end road shoes with the fit and comfort. Built on the Sport Last, it strikes a balance between efficient pedaling performance and long-ride comfort, making it a versatile option for riders who want advanced performance without giving up all-day wearability.


Outsole
The CX190 uses Lake’s proven nylon composite sole, engineered to maximize stiffness in key power zones while maintaining controlled flex where comfort is needed. This balance ensures efficient energy transfer into the pedals without excessive foot fatigue, even on longer rides. Compatible with 3-bolt road cleats, the sole construction provides dependable performance with an optimized stiffness-to-weight ratio.
Upper
Lightweight microfiber combined with breathable mesh panels creates a durable yet supple upper that resists stretch and maintains form over time. The mesh promotes airflow and moisture management, helping keep feet cool and dry across varied conditions. A wrap-around tongue stabilizes the midfoot and improves heel lock, reducing unwanted movement for a secure, slip-free fit during hard efforts.
Closure
Dual BOA® L6 dials allow independent adjustment over the forefoot and instep. This two zone system enables on-the-fly micro-adjustments, creating a secure, even fit without pressure points. Low-profile and impact-resistant, the L6 dials are designed for reliability in real-world riding conditions.
