What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've finally found a winter MTB shoe that fits wider feet without compromising performance. The MXZ21 Wide gives me room to stay comfortable on long rides, but the carbon midsole still feels stiff and efficient on climbs. The rubber outsole grips great on wet roots and rocks, making hike-a-bike sections way less stressful."When the trails are frozen and technical climbs demand every watt of power, the MXZ21 Wide Mountain Bike Shoe keeps us pedaling strong. Lake designed this shoe with a wide last that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing stability, so we can stay out longer even when the temps dip low and the conditions get sloppy. We love how the 100% carbon midsole translates effort directly to the pedals while the Mountain Competition rubber outsole delivers traction on slick, uneven terrain. A weather-resistant soft-shell upper combines with a seam-taped membrane and DWR treatment to keep moisture out, while the speed-lace system ensures quick, glove-friendly adjustments. With warmth rated down to 25degF/-4degC and all-day comfort for wider feet, the MXZ21 Wide proves that winter mountain biking doesn't have to mean compromise.
