The new 2008 Lake MXZ302 winter shoe

I guess I'll stick with the old MZ 300's until they're tattered. The Velcro is kind of a pain, but they have held up very well.

I'll update my post also since it came up.

The heel on mine came apart. I still have to take them in to have them sewn up. Lake told me before that they would take care of it, so I am not worried.

Everything else on them was fine. My boa system stayed tight, and works great.

I am still glad I bought them, even knowing about the heel issue beforehand. They beat the heck out of the set-up I was using before them. If something can keep my feet warm down to -15F, I'm happy.

Overpriced for the product? Somewhat.

Would I buy them again? Definately.

sounds like the more expensive (but cheaper in the long-haul) SIDI HydroGTX might be the better investment given the contents of this thread.

Well, I finally got my shoes back after like 5 weeks. The BOA thing is good as new and the heels have been restitched. They said they would use better stitching, but to be honest, it doesn't look even particularly professional, what they did. Guess I'll just give it some time and see what happens.

Thought I post an update here. Since getting them back, it took less then a month for the heels to come off again. Gave 'em to my LBS guy to deal with and, well.. hoping to get them back by next winter so I can get rid of them and get something more reliable.

Just chiming in my story is virtually identical on the MXZ302x (in a 50) heel stitching loose on one boot sent them (in march) sent them they came back a coupla weeks later. haven't worn them since. We'll see how they hold up next winter. I will say they are the most comfortable riding shoe I have ever owned. for the record I also have SIDI rocket? Bullet? II size 50 mega -- arch hits wrong (not terrible) need to wear very thin socks. Nortwave 50 standard width -- too long -- width fine still not anywhere as comfortable as the other 2
