The Northwave Extreme GT 4 features the Morph Carbon 12 AAS sole. This has a full-carbon insert at the pedal area with a stiffness index of 12.0. This means delivered power goes directly to the pedals to be converted into speed. Northwave also incorporated the exclusive Anatomical Arch Support into the Morph Carbon 12 AAS. It ensures that the shoe molds perfectly to the arch of the foot, making it the ideal sole for any foot type.
Perfect fit with optimal pressure distribution
These cycling shoes from Northwave are made with the patented XFrame 2 construction. This enables the upper to deliver highly effective power transfer. In addition, the XFrame 2 construction offers a delightful fit, without pressure points. The fit of this road bike shoe can be adjusted via the two SLW3 twist closures. Together, they ensure a very even pressure distribution and excellent wearing comfort.
Other features
The Northwave Extreme GT 4 features an integrated heel system with non-slip fibre. This prevents the heel from sliding in the shoe. Furthermore, the heel features a new design without stitching. This guarantees comfort and a second-skin effect. Finally, these cycling shoes can be used with Speedplay adapters. Please note, however, that these are not included.
In order to help you select the right size shoe we have measured all shoes ourselves. All that's left for you to do is measure your own foot length, and we'll tell you which shoe size per brand suits you best. Does your foot length in mm not appear on the relevant product's page? Then that particular shoe is not available in a size that suits your foot length.
You can easily measure your foot length using an A4 sheet of paper, placed on the floor against a wall. Stand with one foot on the piece of paper, with your heel against the wall. Draw a line above your big toe (or above the index toe if that is longer). Now mark your other foot on the paper in the same way. Measure both - the measurement of your longest foot is your foot length in mm's! Please note: some manufacturers have their own measuring system, and as a result what appears on the shoebox can deviate from what we have measured.
What shoe size you need can differ per brand. This is because certain brands wear larger or smaller. To help you get the perfect fit, we've also classified the shoes as narrow, average, or wide fit. Read all about it in our blog!

Setback
I chose this brand because of its reputation for excellent fit. I chose +1 size as per the instructions. When putting them on, they are very comfortable but when tightening the front fasteners a bit, a wrinkle appears inwards in the top of the shoe. This creates a pressure point just above the toes. After a few km into the ride, the lips of the shoes start to slide outward askew. This creates a very annoying feeling on the instep and thus discomfort. I have now done two long rides to see if this will get used but it does not. I am not satisfied with these expensive shoes.
