I spoke to the distributor, who sent me a list of Lake stockists.
Of them all, Cyclefit and Zeevon had a physical shop that was vaguely convenient.
Cyclefit told me that they could order the CX 145 for me, but that I'd have bought it with no option to return it even if it didn't fit.
I was welcome to come in for a shoe fitting, after which they'd order me the shoe- but their opening hours (09.30-18.00) meant that I'd have had to have done some juggling with my working day to accomplish the fitting, then waited for the shoes to come in, at which point they might not fit but I'd be compelled to pay for them.
I called Zeevon, who said they'd happily order them in, I could try them on and if they didn't fit they'd send them back- and they were open until 20.00 so I could stop off on the way home.
Guess which shop got my business?
I'll test them tomorrow, hopefully they'll be a success.
