The TX224 is built around a simple idea: better fit leads to better performance.
Most cycling shoes are made using a single shape. If your foot doesn’t match that shape, you end up compensating by tightening straps to control movement, dealing with pressure points, or accepting numbness and discomfort on longer rides.
The TX224 takes a different approach.
Instead of forcing every rider into one shape, the TX224 is offered in three distinct fit profiles, each designed to match a different type of foot. This allows you to choose the shape that works with your foot, not against it.
-
Precision Fit (Narrow): Built on our Race last, it is designed for low-volume, narrow feet that need a secure, race-oriented hold.
-
Balanced Fit (Regular): Built on our Competition last, a balanced shape with slightly more room in the forefoot for a comfortable, performance fit.
-
Relaxed Fit (Wide): Built on our Comfort Plus last, increased space in the toe box to allow natural toe splay and reduce pressure on wider or higher-volume feet.
-
Less pressure and fewer hot spots
-
Greater comfort, even without socks
-
More stability under load
-
More efficient power transfer
The TX224 is an industry first to offer the same model in 3 distinct last shapes and widths. We know how individual you are, and we wanted to ensure that whatever your foot shape, Lake has the fit for you as a triathlete. For Narrow volume feet the Race Last is the correct choice, Mid-size feet the Competition Last and for larger volume feet or barefoot shoe fans the Comfort Plus Last is the perfect solution.
CX/TX RACE Last – (Narrow Width) Featuring a slightly narrower toe box and a tighter heel, with a firmer grip than the Lake Competition last, and less overall volume than our Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding, with a slimmer and stylish performance fit.
CX/TX Competition Last – (Regular Width) With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure, our Competition last features a more curved profile than the Sport last. The main differences include increased toe pitch & heel lift, a tighter heel & a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.
CX/TX Comfort Plus Last – (Wide Width) The Comfort Plus last has the most generous forefoot platform of all of our CX/TX lasts. This last will accommodate a multitude of foot shapes and allow for toe splaying. Made for those riders who struggle to find an unrestricted shoe for the shape of their feet.
