TX224 WOMEN'S

Q: What makes the TX224's fit unique across its width options?

The TX224 is the first triathlon shoe to offer three distinct last shapes , each tailored to different foot widths: Narrow Race Last : Designed for narrow feet, providing a snug fit. Regular Competition Last : Suited for medium-width feet, offering a balanced fit. Comfort Plus Last : Ideal for wider feet or those who prefer a barefoot-style fit, allowing for natural toe splay. This approach ensures that athletes can find a precise fit tailored to their foot shape.

Q: How does the TX224's closure system enhance transition efficiency?

The TX224 features a speed lace system combined with a single hook-and-loop strap . Once the speed laces are adjusted to your optimal fit, they remain set. During transitions, you simply secure the hook-and-loop strap, allowing for quick and consistent closures without re-adjusting the laces.

Description

For seamless transition on and off the bike, the TX224 is the ultimate lightweight, breathable, fast drying, and fast transitioning Triathlon shoe. The TX224 has taken a new approach to how Triathlon shoes function by not sacrificing comfort and adjustability for fast entry/exit. Our unique design allows for superior adjustment and a familiarity of a closure system that runners will appreciate. The new speed draw-string lace system is quick and easy to secure, wrapping the extended mesh upper around the foot and maximizing air flow to keep your feet fresh and ahead of the game.

Our Lake carbon fiber sole alongside the secure toe box provides a comfortable and secure fit, maximizing stability, power transfer and performance. With an added sleek but substantial rubber toe bumper, the front of the shoe is also given long term protection. The TX224 is the perfect combination of technically advanced upper materials, a secure closure system and an ultralight and stiff carbon sole.

Last

CX/TX RACE Last – Featuring a slightly narrower toe box and a tighter heel, with a firmer grip than the Lake Competition last, and less overall volume than our Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding, with a slimmer and stylish performance fit.

Outsole

Lake Race 100% Carbon Fiber Sole with replaceable heel pads to maximize performance while maintaining the lightest possible shoe. Available in a 3-hole cleat pattern.

Upper

 The TX224 has a Clarino Microfiber upper with NuFoam™ breathable, wicking shell with Trek-Dry antimicrobial liner and a heel-side mounted elastic rubber band holder for setting the shoe up for fast transitions. NuFoam’s unique design works in a way that keeps your foot feeling cool and dry.

The innermost layer of the NuFoam package is Trek-Dry antimicrobial & wicking fabric made from carbonized bamboo. The Trek-dry draws moisture away from the foot towards the surface of the shoe. The middle layer of the NuFoam package is a 2mm closed cell perforated foam that works as a spacer to allow air to flow into the shoe, thus creating evaporation and maximizing comfort. This process works as a cooling system, with the evaporating moisture helping to cool the foot down, while also keeping it dry as you head towards the next transition.

Closure

Utilizing a single hook & loop strap with speed laces, the TX224 has a speed lace draw-string lace system, which is quick and easy to secure, and wraps the foot neatly in race mode with the added benefit of the Velcro strapping. It gives the athlete a micro-adjustable fit, along with maximum impact protection and durability. It can be easily adjusted prior to the event, so that the shoe slips easily on and can be secured with speed.
