Overview

Back in 2008, we reviewed the Specialized BG S-Works Road Shoe and generally had good things to say about the top end performer within Specialized's road line-up. It is justified to state that we have adequately put these shoes through the paces the last two years....tallying-up a few miscommings since the initial review. With the introduction of the 2010 version (which debuted during last year's Tour de France), we were jazzed to see if Specialized had refined the product, addressed the issues we had found.

It has already been a cold start to ole' man winter here in Colorado. Needless to say, the only thing positive about this fact was the chance for us to try out the Lake CX140 Boots. After years of riding with every bootie, shoe/toe warmer we could get our hands on, it was nice to omit that step from our winter-morning getting dressed routine.

Introduced last January to the Lake Winter Shoe line along-side the higher priced CXZ302 ($269.99), the CX140 takes a different approach to keeping your feet warm. Having ridden in sub 30 degree conditions as well as wet, miserably cold conditions, I was generally pleased with their performance, with a few caveats.

Overview
For the last year of so, we had been riding an old version of the Specialized BG Expert Road Shoe and really loved the footbed and stiffness that came with the Body Geometry engineering.

Starting in May, we gave the Specialized BG S-Works Road Shoe a try, mainly to see if we liked the Rotary Lacing System over the traditional 3-strap design.
