I read your review of the Lake CX401 and couldn’t agree more. I have yet to get even 50 miles on these shoes but I can feel the difference. I just “cooked” them today; I hope that makes even more of a custom feel. They are a tad bit roomy in the toe box for my taste, but I could not see going down even a half size (I wear a lake 46/US 11.5/12). That said, the Lake CX330s are very, very close to being as good as the 401s.
