This is a review for the Lake CX140 all weather shoe marketed by Lake as waterproof. Lake should be ashamed of this product, and it looks like they got the message; it has been removed from their website! The first pair I received leaked very badly and were sent back. Chris from Lake stated the shoe was defective and sent another pair. I rode today in a moderate rain for 30 minutes and my feet were soaked through again! As the photo shows, the inside of the shoe is soaking wet as are my socks right now! I wear waterproof tights over the top of the shoe, so I know water is not getting in through the top. The shoes fit nicely and have a clever design with a BOA closure, but they are a complete failure when it comes to execution. Lake's quality control measures need a lot of work, at least as far as waterproof shoes are concerned. This is also a problem for eVent, as the use of their fabric in this shoe could cause them problems.
