The gift that keeps on giving

Lake custom cycling shoes

Christmas is a time of year for us all to pause and to reflect on life, and those close to us. It’s a period in the year when we should all be able to relax in the warmth of our friends and families, as we take in the end of what is often a busy and hectic year for people everywhere. Cycling, as a sport and as a leisure activity is an opportunity for us to escape the daily grind of life and to explore the world – and to explore ourselves. Ultimately, we’re all unique individuals, and we think and react in different ways, and each have our own needs, in life and in cycling – and we all require our own unique fit in cycling shoes.

Christmas is at heart, all about giving. When we think about the spirit of Saint Nicholas and the message behind Christmas, it should be a special time for us all. The gifts that we give ought to have meaning and have a resonance with those special people in our lives. They ought to be as unique as the person themselves and reflect something about them or be chosen specifically for them. Now, these are high ideals we know; and cyclists are not always the easiest people to buy a gift for. There are so many options to consider; and so, how do you make that gift unique and ultra-special.

Thankfully, Lake gives you the opportunity to celebrate the uniqueness of the cyclist in your life – or to celebrate it for yourself – with our Lake custom cycling shoe options.

Giving a unique gift at Christmas time

Our Lake custom cycling shoe options are available for our CX/MX333 shoes, and for our CX/MX403 shoes. We’ve got a custom shoe builder template on our website, designed to help you out in deciding what looks right for you. You can click through our gallery, showing some of the awesome custom cycling shoe designs that we’ve already created around the world; adding that extra-special personal touch to your cycling setup. After all, why should the pro peloton riders have all the best kit especially at Christmas!

You can also choose the colours for the BOA closure system too; making sure that every aspect of your Lake cycling shoes reflects your own unique personality and styling – maybe even matching that new bike that you’ve been promising yourself. We can offer a whole range of leather colours, helping you to create that unique design to reflect your personality. Each pair of shoes is individually made by our team of specialists, just for you and you alone, before being safely delivered and ready to ride in 60 to 80 days – just in time for spring!
