Perfect for wider feet, good value for money

- Laurens Gorter, 11 March, 2024

In my old Shimano racing shoes I often got trouble on longer tours because my feet are a bit wider, this problem has been solved with Northwave. They are fine and so far I feel I am much better in my shoes. I also have Northwave for my mountain bike and it is a breath of fresh air! Very good and nice shoe.

Pros & Cons

comfortable shoe fastening
luxury look
Northwave for the wide foot!

Very comfortable!

- Simon, 6 August, 2023

A lot more suitable for somewhat wider feet compared to similar shimano shoes, which are very narrow. The closure system closes so well that the Velcro hardly adds any value. Also, while cycling, you can easily tighten the fastening system by one notch. Something you can't do with comparable shoes with boa closure.

Pros & Cons

Good fit
Good stiffness/comfort balance

Highly recommended!

- Nick, 7 June, 2023

The shoes fit like a glove and fit perfectly on the foot due to the cord and button, which is attached high on the shoe. A top-notch product at a fair price!

Pros & Cons

Excellent price / quality ratio
Perfect fit wide / high foot

Wide shoe with good fit high on the instep.

- Pieter, 1 May, 2023

Really wanted the Shimano RC500, but even the Wide fit was still too narrow. This Northwave is wider. Also, I like the closure better because it closes higher on the instep while the Shimano (which fits well) tightens lower on the instep. Personal preference. The lower closure (Velcro) doesn't even seem to be necessary. The twist closure is very nice because it is easy to loosen 1 or more taps while riding. In addition, it is easy (once you get the hang of it) to loosen in 1x in its entirety.

Pros & Cons

Easy to adjust per click while riding
Easy to loosen
Twist system ensures good fit
Wide shoe
Loosening system needs a little practice

Ideal shoe (even if you have wide feet)

- Michel, 5 February, 2023

I found my wide-toed Shimano shoes ran too pointy for my feet, this caused complaints. Northwaves also fall wide, so was able to keep my current size on. Upon unpacking, I noticed right away that these shoes feel very sturdy, which I like. The twist closure is quite high, so you can't push your toes into the tip either. Cycled 100 km with them now, I think I'll stick with this brand for now.

Feels solid

Very fine shoe for the average cyclist with some more demands.

- Leon, 9 August, 2022

Shoe fits very well, even with a wide foot. Boa closes well and you can adjust while cycling which is also nice if you want to put on a bit more. Breathes well.

Pros & Cons

BOA is very nice, small adjustment possible
Nice color combination
Shoe fits very well, even with a wider foot
Are a bit on the expensive side

Perfect racing shoe for an average budget

- Willem, 29 January, 2022

Different brands/models tried. Northwave seems to fall just a bit wider, perfect for me. With the SLW twist closure, they fit well and are very easy to tighten/loosen in small steps. Also a good stiff sole, sufficient ventilation and very nicely finished. Top product
