Lake’s CX170 women’s road shoes boast the Boa lacing system, making them a snap to tighten and loosen as you’re riding. There’s a good sized wheel at the back of the shoe that pulls lace wires snug across the entire top of the shoe with one twist. 
Lake has always been known for some solid quality footwear at very appealing prices, and the CX170 isn’t an exception. Those of you with larger feet, will be happy to learn that the CX170 comes in a euro size 43, and we’re not talking about an “almost” size 11 here – it’s a full size 11 shoe, cut to fit a woman’s narrower heel. With a size range of an American 5.5 to 11 (euro 36-43), Lake has almost every possible girl foot covered in style. Compatible with three-hole cleat systems and will accept an optional SPD plate that’s included with the shoes.

“We’re excited to build upon our existing partnership with Boa for the 2010 race season,” says Len Zanni, Honey Stinger Team Captain and Director of Marketing. “Many of our team members spent time training and racing in field test shoes last year, so we know that the Boa Lacing System delivers top performance and can withstand the demands of mountain bike racing. With the Boa Lacing System’s infinite micro-adjustability, glovelike closure, light weight, and durability, it’s ideal for elite-level cycling. And, with Boa Technology and Honey Stinger both located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, it’s an ideal partnership as the opportunity for dialogue and rider feedback from our team often takes place during rides with Boa staff.”
The Honey Stinger team was established in 2008 as a cross-country race team and is comprised primarily of Pro and Cat 1 level riders. Honey Stinger was founded in 2004 and currently offers honey-based energy bars, energy gels, protein bars and organic energy chews.
“I’ve seen these guys race and the results speak for themselves,” says Mark Soderberg, President of Boa Technology and a National Champion Mountain Biker himself. “I’m looking forward to seeing the Boa logo on Team Honey Stinger mountain bike podium finishers here in Colorado and on the national scene!”
As part of the agreement, Honey Stinger athletes will be wearing Specialized cycling shoes featuring the Boa Lacing System.
