CABDA Expo First Look New 2026 Lake Cycling Shoes

CABDA Expo First Look New 2026 Lake Cycling Shoes Hey everyone, Tim Gresh here, professional bike fitter, and in this video I’m coming to you from Chicago at the CABDA Expo, one of the biggest bike industry events of the year. I stopped by the Lake Cycling booth to take a close look at their brand new 2026 Lake cycling shoes, and there is a lot to be excited about, especially if fit and comfort matter to you. Lake is known for their wide sizing options, roomy toe boxes, and fit focused design, and for 2026 they are expanding that approach across multiple price points. We go hands on with three new models, starting with the Lake 178, which introduces a new Sport Comfort Plus last with a more natural toe shape and a price point that makes it easier for newer riders to get into a properly fitting cycling shoe. We also break down the SE and RM 190, a mid level option with double BOA closure, improved adjustability, and features that work well for higher volume feet or riders using custom insoles. Finally, we look at the new KCS 400, which brings Lake’s carbon tub outsole and premium fit feel into a non moldable design, making it more accessible while still delivering excellent heel capture and stability. If you are shopping for cycling shoes in 2026, struggle with narrow shoes, or want to understand how these new Lake models compare, this walkthrough from the CABDA Expo will help you decide what might work best for your feet. #cyclingshoes #cycling #cyclinglife #lakeshoes
