Lake have thought outside the box here and the results are impressive when it’s wet yet mild. Rather than a conventional boot, these use a breathable, waterproof eVent fabric and Neoprene sock inside a sandal outer skeleton, with Boa winch lacing and hard toe and heel cups.

The result is extremely comfortable, light and surprisingly warm thanks to the soft, pinch-free upper. They also dry much faster than conventional boots. An open soft-compound rubber tread on a stiff race sole makes these firm underfoot, although there is movement in the upper, which softens your stomping power.

  • I'm certainly interested in a pair of the boots but how do the size up? Are they a narrow fit like Shimano or do they nice & broad?

  • First ride in new pair today. They are very comfortable, fit like a glove. Totally waterproof, and the fastening system is a treat to use. The sole grips very well. Definately recommend.

  • Have been using neoprene overshoes till now, but these are something else! Light, super comfy very waterproof (aside from the odd bit getting in the top when the shoe is repeatedly immersed).

    Wear with merino socks when it gets chilly for total warmth- and because of the breathable Event fabric they don't ever seem to overheat, even in milder conditions. This is one of those things I'd wished I'd bought ages ago and saved myself the hassle of messing around trying to solve the problem of keeping my feet dry and warm through the Winter months.
