Lake has built its reputation on crafting high-performance cycling shoes in a wide range of sizes, widths, and lasts compared to other brands, and the MX30G is one of their latest designs. We have reviewed the top-of-the-range MX333 before here at Cycling Weekly, and we rated them highly. So how do their more cost-effective siblings fare against one of the best gravel shoes?
I used these over the summer and autumn months on a mix of riding, from fast-paced chain gangs to a multi-day gravel tour across Ireland and plenty of rides on my local Peak District trails. I went for the blue version with large vented mesh sections at the toe and side panels. This was probably not ideal for the wettest summer in recent memory, but I was hopeful the weather would match my optimistic footwear choices. The white versions feature a complete microfibre construction if you want more warmth and a more traditional-looking shoe.
