Northwave Bike Vertigo SBS Cycling Shoes

Backcountry.com

The Northwave Men's Vertigo SBS Road Cycling Shoe works through several channels to transfer force effectively, minimize wasted energy, and maximize comfort. Northwave gave this high-performance shoe a fiberglass-filled nylon sole enriched with carbon powder for stiffness and better pedal feel—doughy freshman feet, beware. The Vertigo uses Northwave's patented Step By Step buckle, which not only lets you micro-adjust the tightness (see silver piece), it allows you to release pressure in equally small increments (see yellow piece), so you experience a custom fit. You'll also enjoy natural-feeling heel hold, thanks to the Y-shaped heel counter, and well-ventilated feet, courtesy of Airmesh uppers and perforated footbeds.

I got htese for my husband and he raves about how great they are. he was wary of the ratchet but loves how it makes the shoe fit! he also really likes the air flow.

Excellent value in a road shoe

You won't find an italian-made road shoe with a ratcheting buckle for anywhere near this price anywhere. If you have wider feet and prefer a roomy toebox, this shoe is for you. These run just a little bit bigger than Diadora or Sidi. They're stiff enough without being too hard on your feet. My only complaint is the weight- they're a little on the heavy side, but for the price, they can't be beat.

Good Feel and Awesome Closure

These shoes feel awesome. I have ridden them a few times now and they are so comfortable with no heel lift. The buckle system is so easy to use and efficient that I find it hard to believe that I haven't always ridden in a pair of Northwaves. With Backcountry's awesome return policy, finding the right size was a breeze! Awesome shoes, even better company to order from.

These shoes are good

I bought these because I was tired of listening to the sales person in the store go on & on about how great the "ratchet buckle" is on the Shimano shoes - then he couldn't even open it? The buckle on these shoes is SO NICE! It slides easily in & out when the red button is pressed! It holds tight when I need it to. Northwave makes great cycling shoes! I would size up a little though, these tend to run small. I wear a men's 9.5/10 & a 43.5 fit me fine.

Great Value

These shoes are a great value. I previously had the Northwave Hornet, but had to return them since the sizing was a bit off. I picked these up as a replacement, and boy am I glad I did. I love the a) design and look of the White/Black option and b) the buckle system. A very comfortable pair of shoes. Recommended for a roadie on a budget.

great for the money!

they're comfortable, and they work just as i expected. If you're looking for a starter shoe you couldn't find a better choice. the fit is great and the vents work well to cool your feet. no hot spot that i've found, size is true...sure you can tell that they're not top of the line quality, but for the price i'm very happy.
