The TX224 combines traditional triathlon transition features with adjustable performance fit. A large power strap allows fast entry and exit during transitions, while the speed lace system provides precise fit adjustment before the race. The strap primarily secures the foot during riding and transitions, while the laces allow pressure distribution tuning across the foot.

Available in three last shapes:

Race Last — slimmer, precision-oriented fit for maximum connection.

Competition Last — wider platform designed for sustained comfort and performance during longer efforts.

Comfort Plus Last — increased volume for wide or high-volume foot shapes.

Selecting the correct last shape is the primary fit decision for this model. If you are between sizes or prefer additional room, consider sizing up 0.5–1 size.

Description

The TX224 is built around a simple idea: better fit leads to better performance.

Most cycling shoes are made using a single shape. If your foot doesn’t match that shape, you end up compensating by tightening straps to control movement, dealing with pressure points, or accepting numbness and discomfort on longer rides.

The TX224 takes a different approach.

Instead of forcing every rider into one shape, the TX224 is offered in three distinct fit profiles, each designed to match a different type of foot. This allows you to choose the shape that works with your foot, not against it.

  • Precision Fit (Narrow): Built on our Race last, it is designed for low-volume, narrow feet that need a secure, race-oriented hold.
  • Balanced Fit (Regular): Built on our Competition last, a balanced shape with slightly more room in the forefoot for a comfortable, performance fit.
  • Relaxed Fit (Wide): Built on our Comfort Plus last, increased space in the toe box to allow natural toe splay and reduce pressure on wider or higher-volume feet.
This is more than just offering different widths, each option is built on a different shape, providing a more accurate fit across a wider range of foot types.
When your shoe matches your foot shape, everything improves:
  • Less pressure and fewer hot spots
  • Greater comfort, even without socks
  • More stability under load
  • More efficient power transfer
The TX224 pairs this fit-first design with triathlon-specific performance features, including a quick-entry closure system, a breathable and fast-drying upper, and a stiff carbon sole for efficient power delivery.
The result is a shoe that not only performs on race day, but feels right from the moment you put it on.
Because the right fit shouldn’t be something you adapt to, it should be something you choose.

Last

The TX224 is an industry first to offer the same model in 3 distinct last shapes and widths. We know how individual you are, and we wanted to ensure that whatever your foot shape, Lake has the fit for you as a triathlete. For Narrow volume feet the Race Last is the correct choice, Mid-size feet the Competition Last and for larger volume feet or barefoot shoe fans the Comfort Plus Last is the perfect solution. 

CX/TX RACE Last – (Narrow Width) Featuring a slightly narrower toe box and a tighter heel, with a firmer grip than the Lake Competition last, and less overall volume than our Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding, with a slimmer and stylish performance fit.

CX/TX Competition Last – (Regular Width) With a profile specifically designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure, our Competition last features a more curved profile than the Sport last. The main differences include increased toe pitch & heel lift, a tighter heel & a slightly wider ball girth to allow the foot to expand under high pedaling pressures.

CX/TX Comfort Plus Last – (Wide Width) The Comfort Plus last has the most generous forefoot platform of all of our CX/TX lasts. This last will accommodate a multitude of foot shapes and allow for toe splaying. Made for those riders who struggle to find an unrestricted shoe for the shape of their feet.

Outsole

Using our Lake Carbon Fiber Soles with replaceable heel pads to maximize performance while maintaining the lightest possible shoe. Available in a 3-hole cleat pattern. 

Narrow Width: Lake Race 100% Carbon Fiber Sole

Regular Width: Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fiber Sole

Wide Width: Lake Comfort Plus Carbon Composite Sole

Upper

 The TX224 has a Clarino Microfiber upper with NuFoam™ breathable, wicking shell with Trek-Dry antimicrobial liner and a heel-side mounted elastic rubber band holder for setting the shoe up for fast transitions. NuFoam’s unique design works in a way that keeps your foot feeling cool and dry.  

The innermost layer of the NuFoam package is Trek-Dry antimicrobial & wicking fabric made from carbonized bamboo. The Trek-dry draws moisture away from the foot towards the surface of the shoe. The middle layer of the NuFoam package is a 2mm closed cell perforated foam that works as a spacer to allow air to flow into the shoe, thus creating evaporation and maximizing comfort. This process works as a cooling system, with the evaporating moisture helping to cool the foot down, while also keeping it dry as you head towards the next transition.  
Closure

Utilizing a single hook & loop strap with speed laces, the TX224 has a speed lace draw-string lace system, which is quick and easy to secure, and wraps the foot neatly in race mode with the added benefit of the Velcro strapping. It gives the athlete a micro-adjustable fit, along with maximum impact protection and durability. It can be easily adjusted prior to the event, so that the shoe slips easily on and can be secured with speed.
