These boots are very warm – when dry – thanks to multiple layers of Outlast insulation; a metal foil, bubble wrap and wool sandwich insole; and their roomy fit.

The tall neoprene sock and double splash flap design around the ankle keep water out well and the Boa lacing system is protected by a splash flap. The grippy Vibram sole is stud-ready, so they’re capable of being great snow boots.

While breathability is excellent, the leather relies on regular proofing to stay water-resistant and even then they still get – and stay – wet eventually. We’ve had separation problems with the heel cup too.

Manufacturers description

Lake has extended riding season indefinitely with the MXZ 302. It lets you stay comfortable and dry even at 10-degrees Fahrenheit thanks to the water-resistant leather and neoprene upper. A mix of three different linings keeps your toes nice and warm while multiple straps provide a snug fit so nothing — not even a draft — can get in.

  • I would love to be able to buy these and review them, but as Lake only make them up to a size 48, I can't.

    Come on Lake, you make other MTB shoes up to a size 50 so why none of your winter boots?

  • I too bought these boots at well below the RRP, I agree the RRP is a bit silly. That said these boots are awesome. Extremely warm, really comfortable and so far I've found them to be very waterproof. The Boa system is great ensuring a perfect adjustable fit.

    To date the only negative side is my mates takes the piss and call me Captain Flash due to the yellow flashes on the boots! The joke is totally on them however when I choose the especially wet routes and they all moan their feet are dropping off with frostbite!! Smug mode :)
