{"product_id":"lake-cx21c-shoes-regular","title":"Lake CX21C Shoes - Regular","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLake CX21C Shoes\u003c\/strong\u003e make the case that laces and serious performance aren't mutually exclusive. Built on Lake's CX\/TX Competition Last with a 100% carbon fiber sole, the CX21C delivers the same fit geometry and power transfer platform found in Lake's higher-end road lineup — wrapped in a clean, classically styled microfiber upper that prioritizes comfort and fit adjustability over gadgetry. For riders who've always preferred the precision of laces over dials, this is the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe single-piece Clarino Microfiber upper is padded throughout and designed to wrap the foot with uniform contact — no hard edges, no pressure points from panel seams. An internal gripper heel liner keeps the heel locked against the cup during the pedal stroke, while a minimal toe bumper protects the front of the shoe without adding bulk to the toe box. Lake describes the fit as conforming like a second skin, which is a reasonable description of what a well-laced cycling shoe actually feels like compared to a two-dial BOA system when you get the tension exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLast:\u003c\/strong\u003e CX\/TX Competition — increased toe pitch and heel lift, tighter heel, wider ball girth for pedaling pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lake Competition 100% carbon fiber, 3-hole cleat pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clarino Microfiber, padded single-piece construction, internal gripper heel liner\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional laces — durable, replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToe Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally formed with minimal toe bumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleat Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-hole (road)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36–52 (Regular fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompetition Last in an accessible package.\u003c\/strong\u003e The CX\/TX Competition Last is the same geometry Lake uses across their performance road lineup — a more curved profile than the Sport last, with a tighter heel and a slightly wider ball girth that accommodates natural foot expansion under load. You get a precision fit platform without paying for a premium closure system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% carbon fiber sole.\u003c\/strong\u003e There's no nylon or composite blend here — the CX21C runs a full carbon competition sole, the same spec as Lake's flagship models. That means direct, unfiltered power transfer and a platform stiff enough to make the fit geometry of the Competition Last fully effective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLace closure done right.\u003c\/strong\u003e Laces offer a type of fit precision that dials and ratchets can't fully replicate — infinite micro-adjustment across the entire upper, distributable tension from toe box to tongue, and no mechanical parts to fail or replace. The CX21C's replaceable laces are a practical detail that extends the life of the shoe and keeps maintenance simple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarino Microfiber upper.\u003c\/strong\u003e Clarino is a synthetic microfiber specifically chosen for breathability and durability — it ventilates better than leather under sustained effort and holds its shape across a wide range of temperatures. The single-piece construction means there are no seams on the top of the foot to create pressure points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lake","offers":[{"title":"White \/ White \/ 36","offer_id":45398883205164,"sku":"3023219","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 37","offer_id":45398883237932,"sku":"3023220","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 38","offer_id":45398883270700,"sku":"3023221","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 39","offer_id":45398883303468,"sku":"3023222","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 39.5","offer_id":45398883336236,"sku":"3023223","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 40","offer_id":45398883369004,"sku":"3023224","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 40.5","offer_id":45398883401772,"sku":"3023225","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 41","offer_id":45398883434540,"sku":"3023226","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 41.5","offer_id":45398883467308,"sku":"3023227","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 42","offer_id":45398883500076,"sku":"3023228","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 42.5","offer_id":45398883532844,"sku":"3023229","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 43","offer_id":45398883565612,"sku":"3023230","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 43.5","offer_id":45398883598380,"sku":"3023231","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 44","offer_id":45398883631148,"sku":"3023232","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 44.5","offer_id":45398883663916,"sku":"3023233","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 45","offer_id":45398883696684,"sku":"3023234","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 45.5","offer_id":45398883729452,"sku":"3023235","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 46","offer_id":45398883762220,"sku":"3023236","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 46.5","offer_id":45398883794988,"sku":"3023237","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 47","offer_id":45398883827756,"sku":"3023238","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 48","offer_id":45398883860524,"sku":"3023239","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 49","offer_id":45398883893292,"sku":"3023240","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 50","offer_id":45398883926060,"sku":"3023241","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ White \/ 52","offer_id":45398883958828,"sku":"3023318","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/LAKE-CX21C-WHITE-WHITE-1_e9070048-a206-4996-855d-7b15e51f226c.jpg?v=1774041675","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/lake-cx21c-shoes-regular","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
