Good value for money

- Vincent, 24 March, 2025

Bought the shoes in shop after a long comparison, and this seemed like the shoe where you get the most for your money. Feels sturdy, but is reasonably light and tightens well around the foot.

Pros & Cons

attractive price
fits snugly around the foot
looks and feels good
velcro does not last as long as second boa

Fine and comfortable shoe that fits perfectly right away!

- Arjan, 10 March, 2025

For me, fit and comfort (and, of course, price) were most important. I ended up with these Northwave shoes, as this is a slightly wider shoe. I was between 'Medium' and 'Wide' in terms of foot width, so I opted for the 'Medium'. For the size, I used the foot length in mm, which resulted in a size 46, where I normally wear a size 45. When I tried them on for the first time, they immediately fitted like a glove. Closure works just fine, easy to choose the right tension and also easy to customise while cycling. What can become a disadvantage is that the buckles are not BOA buckles BOA has better warranty (free replacement). By the way, there are repair kits available for the SLW3 closure on Northwave website. But in my opinion, comparable shoes with BOA buckles (other brands) are also several tens of euros more expensive, so you end up paying for this good guarantee yourself.

Very comfortable

- Jeremy, 21 May, 2024

At last, a shoe that's suitable for "wide" feet. The description matches the product perfectly. The wide range is great for extra width in the toes. The adjustment knob is precise. It works a little differently to the Shimano system, but you soon get the hang of it. The shoe is really very comfortable. Size-wise, I usually wear a size 44.5. I took the size 45 which is really perfect.
