Northwave Men'S Striker MTB SBS Cycling Shoe,Black/Green,42 EU/9.5 M US
Product Description
Northwave started out making snowboard boots and moved into cycling shoes in 1993. Since then it has emerged as one of the top innovators in the industry. The Northwave Striker SBS Mountain Bike Shoe is a perfect example of the how this Italian company is taking a different approach to design and setting new standards in the industry. Not only are we impressed with the quality and light weight of the Striker, but we were also struck by how much attention has gone into every aspect of the shoe.The SBS (Step By Step) ratcheting system provides stable closure that won't come undone or loosen up while you ride. It allows you to dial in a precise fit so you can maximize pedaling efficiency without having to deal with hot spots and blisters. The ASR 2 (Ankle Strap Regulation 2) system is an adjustable EVA foam strap on a lightweight toothed band that can be centered on any ankle shape for greater comfort. The carbon composite Speedlight 3D soleplate is much lighter than other, less costly sole materials. It also allows Northwave to reduce sole thickness for direct power transfer from your foot to the pedal. Northwave uses only natural rubber in its soles because natural rubber provides superior grip on wet or muddy terrain. The Striker also features Omega Heel, which designed to provide traction and protection and features rear vents that let hot air leave the shoe. In fact, overheating is a dead issue with Northwave's advanced Aerator ventilation system. Large mesh vents on the toe and the sides of the shoe allow cool air to enter while hot air passes through the Omega heel. The ventilated Performance Pro footbed with lightweight anatomical arch support allows air to flow all around your foot during a ride, and the breathable microfiber upper lets your foot regulate its temperature naturally. Northwave Striker SBS Shoes come in Red/black, Black/green, Black/grey, and White/black. They are available in whole sizes 37 to 47 and half sizes 39.5 to 45.5.

It seems like a really well made shoe. Design is nice, not exactly lightweight, but for a cycle shoe its just fine and the sole is super stiff.The clamp closing mechanism makes it easy to adjust the shoe when its on, and easy to get out of as well. And it looks pretty neat. It seems well build, but complexity always adds a risk of failure), but luckily you get a manual which tells you how to replace it backed with the year warranty. It doesn't look too hard, nor too expensive. I went into a couple of cycle shops to try on other brand name styles but it doesn't even come close to this one, and they were about $100 dollars more! North wave has a winner here. I love the white color the best!My only gripe is that the sizing of the shoe is so weird. My converse and timberland's are 45 and these North waves are 44.5 : O and they are still a little tight, But after the 2nd time worn they have molded to my foot perfectly. Nothing uncomfortable, but next time I might go a 1/2 size up so I will be able to wear it with thicker socks as well. One size up from your normal shoes is a minimum if your purchase is online. I feel my self lucky that my pair fits. If you get a chance, try them out first, because its not easy to judge. Based on my research, North Wave has the most wide selection of patterns/colors to choose from out of all the brand names on the market...and the stitching is so update/retro! I will give this a 10 out of 10!!! Very Satisfied Customer, Jamie
