heat mouldable

The new CX331 is a top-class mouldable shoe that offers an excellent combination of comfort and efficiency.

Despite the £250 price tag, this is actually the second tier road shoe in the Lake line-up. We tested the range-topping CX401 last year when it was £299.99. It has now gone up to £339.99. Yikes, that's hot! I have to say, though, that this CX331 is just as good as the CX401, it's just a little heavier.

Bont's Vaypor shoes are lightweight and amazingly stiff and you can heat-mould them to your feet for an excellent fit.

You've probably heard of Bont shoes, if only because the UCI banned their Crono time trial shoe last year. Bonts certainly attract a lot of attention because they're very different from the norm – not just the TT shoes, but the rest of the range too.
