Lake CX146 winter shoe review: comfort, weather protection and warmth

Lake 146 shoes clipped in on a snowy day.

Purchasing a dedicated pair of winter shoes marks a certain point in a cyclist’s life, showing commitment above and beyond the norm to riding in sub-optimal conditions. Whether you are a stalwart commuter or a resolute winter trainer, the move from cycling shoes and overshoes to winter boots puts you in a small subset of riders.

Reasons why you might wish to make the shift include warmth, comfort, quicker to put on and not wanting to get your best summer shoes wet repeatedly. If you do ride a lot in cold, wintery weather then buying a dedicated pair of shoes (boots) makes a lot of sense.
