Hey Bart Miller with Cycling Strong so most you know I love to try out shoes and gear and all
that kinda stuff and I know sometimes you think
oh my gosh it's just another review but reality is I do lotsa riding and
it's fun to try stuff out and give people kinda what I
thinks they don't have to spend a lot of money on trying things that won't work for
them
so I reached out to Lake shoes which is a Netherland Company
there's a lot of people that talk about another brand of shoes that are out there
so I wanted to talk about these a little bit and
WOW! I was really really impressed with two things
first of all they have a wide
that you can buy so you can buy the shoe in a wider shoe
you don't have to just buy it in the regular size so people who have really wide
feet
can get a shoe that's gonna fit 'em really really comfortable the second thing I was
impressed with is
this boa system it's real easy to get into this boot
and I mean real easy and when you get inside the boot but that soul
and the way these are like wearing a pair of slippers
there's so dang comfortable
and you can kinda see that they have a different liner inside of here
kinda see that as I bring it around and then this kinda covers it with the leather
waterproof leather and they got a strap here
that's really adjustable and so once you're in the boot
and you kinda got everything fit the way you want it fit you hit this boa system
ratchet them down to where you want 'em to be
like that and then snap it on and that boot
fits like a glove lots of room the nice thing about 'em is they're really roomy
but yet
really snug which doesn't make sense but with the boa system
it brings that really together so you can put a thick sock on if you want to
or wear a thin sock
I wore just a normal sock you can see these are sub-zero rated
and I wore a normal sock in em you'll see another video
if it's not attached to this one find it but I'm out in the snow
and I mean we're talking snow clear up to here really really deep snow
in these boots and my feet stayed
really really warm comfy warm like
wasn't even stressed about it normally my feet would be freezing
like cold so I was a little worried worried enough that I brought an extra
pair of socks just in case
just saying cause I hate feet cold can't stand it one of my pet peeves
so I did that and never needed to even pull 'em out it was awesome
I am riding a look pedal so I've got these
these clips on here they're a little different and they worked great on here
I had no problem getting in and out of my pedals you can tell I've
got 'em plenty dirty this soul is amazing
going through the snow you know everything I was doing when I'm hiking up the
mountains all that kinda stuff
the soul is just rock-solid being you can see it's very stiff
yet lots of tracks to do everything I want to do I've fact
I really wish this was a road bike shoe I wish I could get my road
cleat in here a little bit because when it comes Spring here
this shoe is so warm and so nice it'll be nice to peddle in it
on my road bike I mean it just be awesome so
anyway I'll put my mountain bike this fits my mountain bike too
I guess I'll just have to ride in the gunk and all that in the cold in my
mountain bike on the same shoes so pretty stoked about this shoe
I dunno what questions you have but glad glad to answer 'em
but I can honestly tell you this company bends over backwards for you
great customer service I call 'em on a couple of questions because I wanted to
know
cleat height you know where they needed to be exactly make sure I did everything
right
they were stellar to get back to me and
make sure I was taking care of it's a matter of fact I ordered a wide
first of all and I've got a narrow foot so I wasn't thinkin
I made a mistake and contacted them
they absolutely was like no problem send 'em back get the next one
We'll get you taken care of So they took care of meme just like that
and where it was just awesome so highly recommend
the lake 303 I haven't tried the other boots out there
and I really don't think that I need too I got a really amazing boot
and love 'em downfall to 'em if there is anything
I'm not used to where the cleat lines up on my foot
that probably the only thing I'm really not i might have to adjust this a up higher
a little bit
because the size of the boot it's obviously not their fault
they get they sent me a longer boot then when I normally wear in cycling
shoes
I think for sock spacey and stuff like that
and so that'd be the only thing is just being to be able to get that exactly dialed
in
If anything so other than that really like it like how it fits
and the comfyness of the boot so we'll talk to you all
we'll talk to you later
