New kicks

Super excited about these new shoes from Lake. In doing some research for new shoes, I found that I have unusually wide feet. My foot length is equivalent to a US size 8 1/2 or 9, but my foot width doesn't get accommodated until around size 11 in standard shoes lasts. That normally means custom, and waaaay outside my budget. But I found that Lake offers a wide and extra-wide last in select models, like these super track-looking CX1-Carbons. And the price was right- around US $200 which is relatively cheap for racing shoes. After trying these on, I realized I had never had a pair of cycling shoes that were not way too tight across the ball of my foot. Excited to try these beauties out in anger in a couple of months!
