Submitted by yfz_duner a Weekend Warrior from Winchester, CA, USA
Date Reviewed: September 15, 2009
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $100.00
Purchased At:bikebling.com
Strengths:Doesn't scream "biking shoe."
Weaknesses:The insole is very thin. This is my first clipless shoe and maybe that's how they're supposed to be, but I have sensitive nerves on the bottom of my feet and the padding wasn't enough. A new insole from the local sporting goods store took care of the issue.
Similar Products Used:none
Bike Setup:Trek Fuel EX 8
Bottom Line:I was looking for my first clipless shoe that fit right, looked casual, and didn't cost a fortune. This shoe fit the bill. I like a little bit wider shoe and this one fit me right.

I've only ridden in these shoes a few times now (50 miles), so I can't comment on the durability like the previous poster did. So far, so good though.

Submitted by tomak13 a Weekend Warrior from marseille
Date Reviewed: July 1, 2009
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $80.00
Purchased At:Wiggle
Strengths:Good looking
Weaknesses:The sole (vibram) cracked, the front of the shoes was ripped wery quickly
Similar Products Used:Northave, Axo
Bike Setup:Blur LT2
Bottom Line:I bought those shoes follwoing a nice experience with earlier Northwave shoes, that I kept for 5 years. Unfortunately those ones did not resist more than 7 rides!!! First the front of the shoes cracked, the leather is really bad! Second the Vibram sole just snapped, and now the cleat is no longer stable. These are the worst shoes you can find. I won't buy again shoes from Northwave, where has gone quality in 5 years???
