Performance doesn't always have to come with a crazy price tag, and the CX177 Cycling Shoe proves that. It's designed for cyclists who prefer a super-stiff sole that doesn't make any compromises for comfort. A fiber-glass-injected nylon sole makes for that key stiffness and power transfer, and the Clarino microfiber and mesh upper keep weight low while comfortably wrapping around the foot. A side-mounted L6 Boa closure system lets us find our ideal fit by making easy micro-adjustments as needed. Carbitex tongue panels reduce friction for smoother and easier tightening of the laces, and Lake's Sport last cradles the foot to prevent excess movement.
