Lake MX239 MTB Shoe

The MX239 mountain biking shoe is the latest version of one of Lake's all-time favourite mountain biking shoes, for riders hitting the remote and technical trails. This evolution of their legendary MX238 is 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 – a vital ingredient on loose and technical terrain.

The MX239 MTB shoe 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 favourite 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 Competition real rubber sole, and you have a mountain biking shoe that’s ready to take on any challenge.

MX Competition Last – Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort Plus 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 those tricky technical sections, while the wider toe box gives your feet a more natural fit and platform.

The MX239 comes fitted with Lake's Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole, alongside our Mountain Competition real rubber sole, and with extended protection for excellent ground stability. This added outsole protection helps to ensure stability on all types of surfaces, while giving necessary performance on the pedals. The rubber extends over the front edge of the shoe, providing you with important protection against wear and tear on loose terrain.

This latest high-performance off-road shoe is available in Clarino Microfiber or Helcor leather upper with mesh and Outlast heel lining. The Helcor Abrasion resistant leather is specifically designed to be extremely durable against rubbing, scrapes, and scuffing. The Clarino Microfiber is super tough and resilient to the arduous wear and tear of long rides on all types of terrain, maintaining its shape and stability, while being lighter than full-grain leather and more durable at thinner gauges. This allows us to give you a cycling shoe that remains stable in all riding conditions, and which will stand the test of time.

With your foot wrapped in the legendary Lake comfort, the Outlast temperature regulating heel and tongue lining offers a luxurious foot feel, while maintaining a breathable, durable & firm grip to your foot.

BOA® Fit System Li2 Dials. 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 come down to several details, which is why at Lake, they take time to design shoes with that they believe to be the best comfort and closure systems. The dual BOA® fit system is not unique to cycling, but it is how Lake use this dial system in conjunction with their pattern work, their world-class shoe Last and their selection of superior upper materials that make this system work.
