Whats the difference between the Lake MX 238 the MX 238 Gravel and the MX 238XC cycling shoes? 

Thanks for this! Been trying to make out this bit of info from the Lake website & shop reviews but this helps so much more.

Nice! I just got these shoes a few months ago. Great shoes.

Thanks for the really helpful information. Do you guys sell the shoes?

Hello and thanks for the explaination! Question regarding the MX238 Gravel in Beetle Green: When i use the sizing chart it guides me to the upper End of 43,5. (My left foot meassueres 272 (+5 =277) and 104mm width including socks and pressure on the forefoot). Now first there is no 43,5 here in Germany available but 44. I tried the 44 and the lenghts is fine with a a few mm space but not too much. But in general the shoes feel relativly soft and loose and more like a sneaker than a sportive shoe. Is this the way it is supposed to be? Will the material get even softer and wider over time. Or is the shoe too big and i should search further for a 43,5? Thanks for advice ! Moritz

Main reason to buy shoes is not the studs, but the fit. Really need those wooden foot lasts to demonstrate he various fit problems and how the shoes accommodate those problems.

Hi Dougie, could you please tell me what do you think about the toe box? I have a slim foot but always wear barefoot shoes. Consequently i find most cycling shoes to be narrow at the toe box. Do you think the MX238 gravel could work for me? And lastly..website shows two options: regular and wide. Do these refer to the shoe in general or the toebox?

Would you recommend the mx238 for touring?

I've got both MX238 and MX238 Gravel (both 41.5 Wide) yet the MX238 fits perfectly yet the MX238 Gravel is too narrow in the toe box, I also have the CX238 Road 41.5 Wide and that fits fine. I can't fathom out why the gravel version is just that fraction too narrow.
