Lake shoes and fitment JHB

[thebob]

Hi all

I'm keen on getting properly fitted for a decent pair of road cycling shoes. The Lake brand comes up again and again as the ones to go for. I'm pretty much sold on giving them a go, but I'd like to buy them from someone who will fit me properly and can help with my tragically high arches as well. Can anyone point me in the right direct to someone in JHB who can help. The website for Pure Motion Sports, who seemed to be the last distributor is dead and the local Lake site doesn't seem to have been updated for ages.

Kim Welsh was the person to talk to about LAKE, but I don’t have her contact information anymore. Hope someone can help

The guys at Trailwolf can sort you out, Kim is often there and they have a good relationship.

Sweet. That makes it super easy for me. I'll speak with Shaun to set something up

I've had a set of Lake carbon road shoes for 10 years and love them. Kangaroo leather creaks a bit when they are cold but there are ways to address that.

Thanks @DieselnDust and @Danger Dassie. Just met Kim now. Foot is measured and sizing is confirmed. Apparently I have slenderAF feet, so Kim is digging into the stocks for something to fit me. The shoes I tried felt really good though. Had no idea what arch support felt like until today

So you’re probably going to be looking at the 242 or 300 series shoes👍🏼

Yeah, I will confirm what I end up with. Looking forward to banishing foot discomfort to the past!

Awesome sauce, glad you're getting sorted. Kim and Shaun are great, he can't always carry stock given the range but will have your back.
