Born in Evanston, Illinois in 1982, Lake quickly became a household name for creating some of the best cycling shoes on the market. As cycling genres developed in North America, so did the versatility and demand for shoes to fit the function. Lake created its MX winter boot to cope with the extreme cold that hits Lake’s headquarters on the shores of Lake Michigan – where temperatures are possibly reach the the coldest in North America. Many other innovative designs have come from Lake’s shoe collections and recently Lake took cycling shoe comfort to a new level with its MX 242 featuring a wider toe box and segmented panels to adhere to each rider's unique foot shape.
Lake values the input from customers, and various cycling communities from all around the world which is how they aim to remain at the top of the cycling shoe market.
