Reviews over the

Northwave Origin Plus 2

I use them for graveling. Lovely shoes, even for the slightly wider foot. They are stiff, but not too. The boa works well, turn for tighter, press the button for a touch looser and the button up for taking the shoes off. I am very happy with it. The only downside are the plastic points on the Front of the tread which makes walking a bit tricky.

Pros & Cons

Nice cycling shoes with still enough grip for walking. Easy system to fasten and unfasten the shoes. The only? brand that can adjust the tightness of the shoe. Never too tight shoes!

Pros & Cons

I had ordered size 44 based on the size chart, but turned out to need 43. I have wide feet so many shoes are too tight.

Pros & Cons

Was looking for new MTB shoes, after years of using Specialized footwear. Whereas the latter were sometimes a bit too airy during use, the new ones are tighter yet breathable. Pleasant to use, especially with new SPD plates underneath. Easy to adjust, no minus points yet.

Pros & Cons

Excellent shoe for those with wide feet. Very comfortable shoe.

Pros & Cons

Lightweight shoes with good ventilation

Pros & Cons

Already owned the winter shoe of this same brand. A nice addition for the summer season.

Pros & Cons

Very nice shoes. I use them for MTB and gravel. There is enough profile on the bottom and it fits perfectly (although that is personal). I chose the size following Mantel's size chart, and it turned out to be exactly right. I did notice that the cleats loosen quickly. I had to retighten them up to three times after a ride. Perhaps they were not tight enough each time? Hopefully it is a novelty thingy. Also, there are ventilation holes on the outside of the shoe that easily collect dirt. But I guess that's inevitable when riding in mud. Not really a downside, but it did catch my eye. Also a pity that it does not have the original BOA buckle on it, but one of the own brand. That one works very well too, by the way, just a bit different from BOA. All in all, a very nice shoe that feels good quality: firm and stiff sole, nice fit, seams nicely finished, water-repellent fabric. And at a reasonable price.

Pros & Cons

Closure works very well Takes some getting used to. Then very practical.
