Last
MX Sport Last – This last features a larger, more roomy toe-box than our Comfort last while providing increased foot control through the heel & saddle of the foot. The resulting fit is designed for aggressive riding while remaining comfortable to wear all day. Ideal for couriers, adventure cyclists & anyone else who wears their cycling shoes for long periods of time.
Outsole
Supergrip Enduro Sole with Ice Lock anti-slip lug inserts. Not only does the MX146 feature Lake’s Legendary Fiberglass injected Nylon sole, but also one of the most technically advanced rubber soles. The Supergrip rubber sole features ICE LOCK tread inserts, which are vertically injected micro glass fibers that grip virtually all surfaces. This gives you a wet weather cycling shoe that is sure footed and stable in any condition.
Upper
The upper features softshell fabric, water-resistant microfiber, Thinsulate 200gr insulation and a waterproof membrane making this a highly water-resistant cycling shoe. Suitable for cold and wet conditions, light to moderate rain and road spray, but not fully waterproof in prolonged heavy rain. Clarino microfiber offers great durability and the suppleness found in leather at a significant weight reduction.
Closure
BOA® Fit System M4 dial. The M4 dial is built for gloves and freezing temperatures, defying sand, mud, and ice. Combined with Click-Fit quick release, the system makes for easy entry and exit.
Temperature Rating
Down to 25°F/-4°C
Water Resistance
The uppers are treated with a durable water resistant (DWR) coating that will wear away over time. We recommend reapplying a DWR spray 1-2 times a year for moderate riders and every 2-3 wet rides for daily riders.
The MX146 is highly water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It protects against road spray and rain but is not fully sealed. In prolonged heavy rain, some water ingress should be expected.

Most Asked Questions
Is the MX146 a full-on winter boot or more of a transitional-season shoe?
Do I need to size up for thick socks?
We suggest sizing up by half a size if you plan to wear thick wool socks. Our Winter Last also provides extra volume in the toe box for warmth.
Are the closures easy to use with gloves?
Yes. Many winter shoes use oversized BOA® dials or pull-tabs that are easy to adjust without removing your gloves.
What cleat systems are these compatible with?
Winter shoes follow the same cleat patterns as our other models—either 3-bolt (road) or 2-bolt (MTB)—depending on the model.
Are these shoes insulated and waterproof?
Our winter models are engineered with varying levels of thermal insulation tailored to specific use conditions, effectively trapping foot warmth while blocking out cold air. Some models feature waterproof membranes with sealed seams, providing an added layer of protection to keep your feet warm and dry. While models with seam-sealed membrane construction offer excellent water resistance, they may not be fully waterproof in extreme wet or 100% submerged conditions.
Are they durable enough for extreme conditions?
Absolutely. Our winter shoes are built tough to handle cold, wet, and abrasive winter riding environments.
Can I use them for snow or fat biking?
Yes. They’re ideal for snow riding and fat biking, with soles that provide grip and uppers that shield against the elements.
Do you offer both road and MTB winter models?
Yes. We offer some winter shoes for both 3-bolt road and 2-bolt off-road pedal systems—so you can ride through winter no matter your setup.
