Don't know how good they are, but looks like a great price.

I saw those and thought 'they look like an spd sandle with a wetsuit boot inside them, I think I'll pass'.

Which, if everyone feels that way, might explain the cheapness 🙂

I've got some, which I bought from CS in the spring. Not used them yet though.

I think the ones they're selling are simple velcro strips, not the boa system.

There's only two reviews there, and one of them is..

After the 1st ride in them I broke the left BOA lacing system during a gnarley dismount...

uplink & realman, that is a different boot. The MX140 (which has been discontinued) has a boa closure. These LX140s look like velcro. Haven't seen them before - I assume they've been dug out of a dark corner of some warehouse. Lake have been using the "MX" designation for mtb shoes for a while now so not sure what kind of riding these are even aimed at?

Rather like the new Tevas that are being advertised down the side of that MTBR link!
