Northwave Fondo S.B.S. Shoes White/Black, 40.0
Product Description
Not every cyclist holds a longing desire to be in the peloton, and the same can be said about cycling shoes. For some, the open road garners the same excitement as a race, yet a race shoe proves to be more of a hindrance than a help. That's why Northwave created the Fondo S.B.S. Shoes. They provide just the right amount of stiffness-to-weight, while also being exceedingly comfortable. So, when you're a week into your cycle tour, you'll be worried about the work stacking up on your desk at home, not your feet. Knowing that comfort is imperative over the course of a tour, Northwave's Fondo features its aptly named Touring outsole. This outsole has a construction that strikes the ideal balance between weight, rigidity, and comfort. To achieve this Northwave used a natural rubber for its composition. So, when you're walking your rig, or decide that you'd like to take a stroll, you'll experience the comfort of a supportive hiking boot. However, when you're pedaling in the saddle, you'll benefit from an assuring stiffness that won't berate your feet over the long haul. This is possible by the rubber's thickness being varied in order to provide a dynamic flex in targeted areas. Additionally, the rubber chassis creates a comfortable interface with the uppers, allowing a small amount of spill-over for when either your feet swell or when you experience strong torsional forces on the ground. Moving up the shoe, Northwave made the uppers from a durable, yet breathable, polyurethane material. This creates a conforming upper that doesn't skimp on protection from trail hazards, or whatever else you that you might find on your journey. And for extra ventilation, Northwave also included Airmesh inserts throughout the upper. The location of the inserts follow what Northwave call its Airflow System. The lower vents channel air to exit at the rear, while the side vents supply a constant source of fresh air over the foot.
