Northwave Velvet cycling shoe

By: BikeChick(11)
February 19, 2008

These are a very light and fairly stiff shoe (for a non-carbon shoe). I am a 7.0-7.5 in women's shoes and the 38 fits me very well, with more room at the tip and sides of toes than the same size in Specialized cycling shoes. Like many NW shoes these run a little wide in the toe box (on my average width feet). I like that the sole is very flat so my cleats can be fastened without a lot of space between the sole and the cleat. The material is very light and I can tell that with all that mesh my feet will be far less sweaty in the summer in past summers. The NW buckling system works well though I am still getting used to the SBS ratcheting system. It is not complicated to use, just takes a minute longer to adjust, which I'm sure I'll get used to. I hope all the parts that make up that ratchet will wear well. Frankly, I would be just as happy with 3 velcro straps and a strong, stiff sole than with the other gizmos!

Is this shoe compatible with "lollipop" cleats? Also, I need a wider toe, narrow heel. Will this work?

These will work with 3 hole cleats, and these will fit your foot.

Do I need the cleats? I am new to cycling shoes and have just started looking. What kid of pedals do I need for this type of shoe? I have not read about this brand and would like to know more about how they fit and if the sizes are true to the scale. LB

You need cleats to use cycling shoes and they require clipless pedals. Some riders still use rat-traps but I think clipless pedals are worth the investment. They allow you to pull up on the pedal as well as push - completing a full circle - and so you will be able to keep a higher cadence and go faster. Hope this helps you and happy cycling
